We spend our final weekend celebrating the All Blacks victory over the Scots at Murrayfield, drinking pints of beer in the local pubs, eating out and basically having a wicked time.

A quick flight down to London on Monday night and we were back in West Norwood staying with Lynfield. So the tickets have been collected, our bags are packed and tommorrow we fly off to Hong Kong! ... read more
