Since we had a return flight to the UK that needed to be used within 12 months, it was a case of ‘use it or lose it’ and we decided to come back to visit friends and family for a couple of weeks early next year. Here are the dates for your diaries:

Arriving in UK - Fri 25 Jan
Leaving UK for NZ - Sun 10 Feb

We don’t have a proper itinerary yet, but hope to see as many of you as possible. (Hint: expect us to be busy at weekends, so arrange to see us midweek if you can!)

The weather here has been hit and miss, we’ve had a few days of good weather followed by a week or so of awful weather - high winds and nasty rain. The weekend was pretty good and sunny, even if we did have high winds yesterday. I guess we’re not quite out of winter yet, maybe in a few more weeks… (hopefully!) We must love bad weather though, we seem to be always following it around the globe.
