Settled but daring in NZ
So good to see your new blog from NZ. Photos are fab and so are the video clips. What next? Paragliding, Snow boarding and the dreaded Bungy jumping - are you trying to scramble your brains Tom? Glad to see you are actually staying in the same house for more than a couple of days! Keep the blogs rolling!
