Hard graft for the first six months - and who says writing doesn’t raise a sweat? Ah yes, that’ll be Jas! Then in early July we’re off to Europe via Singapore, where we’ll fit in Venice and Prague, before popping over to Portsmouth for a long-awaited and much anticipated WRNS reunion, and to catch up with friends we haven’t seen since leaving the UK twenty-two years earlier! It’s going to be some party!
After three days in Los Angeles, it’s home again – only to jet off two weeks later for our second house-sitting assignment in the Kingdom of Tonga, this time a private house on its very own island. Even more remote than the resort we looked after, this property is right on the very edge of a reef, so calm waters one side of the long narrow island, and the full might and expanse of the Pacific Ocean on the other!
Mid-October, and after a day or two at two at the Hilton in Fiji (how else to reacquaint ourselves with civilisation?) we’re back in NZ for the mad build-up to Christmas. The construction industry that is, not the shopping malls!
And we’re still wondering how to squeeze a house-sitting assignment in Panama into that lot!!!
