We are a retired couple who after living abroad for 5 years are now living in Levin, New Zealand.
From October 2006 we cruised the inland waterways of Britain. We sold Narrowboat Gypsy Rover in July 2010 and continued our travels around the UK in our new Motorhome. In August 2011 we returned to New Zealand ahead of our motorhome which arrived in October. Although now land based we will be continuing our travels throughout New Zealand when time allows.

Hi Dot & Derek. Is there any sign of a thaw there? We're still icebound near Snarestone. Also, have you heard anything of Gosty Hill? Is he on the move yet, do you know? Thanks. Sue & Dave Hunter. Beefur. www.beefur.blogspot.com
Hi D&D I know we`re iced in at the moment but winter cruising is great with snow on the trees and fields and those many crisp sunny days thru winter. beats me why folk pay for winter moorings. See you some time soon. LES
Hi Sue and Dave We are currently in London and should be back on Gypsy Rover tomorrow evening. We are still real and truly iced in and don't expect to be able to move for at least a few days yet.As of Monday morning Ian and Alison were still iced in at Sutton Stop. They were going to reassess the situation today and if able to move we may see them in Hillmorton at the weekend. Still some time away from the Ashby even when they can move again.
Dear Dot and Derek, we are an English couple; Karen and Mike Matthews living in Michigan, USA. We visit your blog almost daily and enjoy reading the details of your adventures. Stay safe and warm and thank you for maintaining the blog - we look forward to the time we will return home to the UK! Kind regards, Karen and Mike

Hi Karen and Mike
Thanks for the lovely comments. It sometimes is hard to think of what to say on a daily basis but we enjoy what we are doing.
