Have missed your blogs recently
Saw your comment about Air Asia canceling its Europe routes, and was reminded that I hadn't seen anything from you recently. What has happened since you last blog? Will you catch up with your blogs for the last few months? I want to nominate you as Blogger of the Week if you plan to continue blogging.

New blogs coming soon...!
Hi Bob, Thanks for your comments and I'm glad you're enjoying the blogs when I do get around to putting them up! I was just trying to find the mental energy right now to do blogs on the Milford Track and maybe another Christchurch and Nelson blog so hopefully have something for you to read in the next couple of days :) Frankie p.s. would love to be Blogger of the Week but I 'm already on the front page so not sure I'm allowed?!
