Hi Kate and Mark- Your blogs are such a good read that I want to give up my job and life as I know it and head after you! It's been a great winter read so keep it up. Have a great Christmas in transit and New Year in Whittianga- NZ and Oz will be different but no doubt you'll find lots to entertain there too and we can expect odes of a different hue!
