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.
We spent a very busy day in Wellington today, catching up with both our elderly parents as well as visiting the polling booth to cast our votes in the country’s General Election before polling day tomorrow. Collected our mail from Brent’s and returned some belongings to our storage before heading north again. We had a delightful lunch at one of our friend Jenny’s favourite cafe “The Fig Tree Cafe” in a unique setting in a restored chapel in Heretaunga.

Happy Birthday Derek - hope it's been a good one. Enjoying your blog and glad to see that the motor home has at last got it's name painted on.
Pip & Roger xxxx
Happy Birthday Derek, we know exactly how old you are!
Wish we could have come to the Fig Tree too!
Happy Birthday Derek!
Hi Derek,
Thank you for your kind thoughts. I think it was actually narrow boats rather than railways that crossed my thoughts that day.
Hi Pip & Roger,
Thank you for the Birthday wishes. This is Gypsy Rover MkIV but we couldn't fit the MkIV. There is not as much to blog about at present but that will change.
Kevin,
I am unsure if we have ever met but thank you for the thoughts.
Hi Jenny & Robin,
Lets keep it our little secret or the painter may go on strike.
