Making the most of it.

Well as we sit here watching the lack of world air travel slowly grinding half the world economy to a stand still, we tend to overlook the thousands of tonnes of perishable air freight and general freight come to that, that gets flown around the world, much of it at present slowly rotting in warehouses everywhere. The longer the volcano keeps erupting the more chance of airlines going bust and smaller economies suffering badly. Doesn’t bear thinking about but we cannot control Mother Nature.

We are making the most of the fine weather by getting some preparation work done ready to paint later in the year. Last night was spent on the computer emailing messages backwards and forwards to all our friends and relations in New Zealand explaining the situation and passing on our new itinerary assuming we get away next Saturday, fingers crossed.
