“Live long and prosper” !

So to all our dear and loyal readers, our friends and family, our Voyage Home and now met its Final Frontier having visited, to us, previously Undiscovered Countries.  Anyway, enough of the Star Trek references (mum ask Peter for help here!).     Time then to wish you you the reply to the above quote: 

                                                              “Peace and Long Life”

So now all the legs are now done and dusted!  And moisurised!  The last being HKG-LHR !  Having spent a great 10days playing catch-up with Damian and Keiko in Honkers, the final voyage was a 13hour trip with Air New Zealand, with a 3seater to ourselves: woah, the comfort!!

So now back in Blighty and relishing the approaching spring then summer!  Also means being back with Mike’s mum (& Peter) while we ‘get our shit together’ ; aka Fall Back and Regroup!! aka Look for a job.  aka Catch Up with F+F!!  aka Drive tyhe Mini again!!  aka Eat Roast Lamb cooked by mum!!  So here we go…….

…….. and we’ll probably now cache this website, although you should still be able to access it!!  Who knows, we may UN-Cache it sometime!

Had a few nice and polite (!!) comments left, inc Brian and Pam so their techowledge is growing…and quite scary therefore!!  Still learning the fine arts of pix uploading, but the local pub keeps getting in the way! 

Various parts of east Anglia are to be visited the next few days, which will get the mini going nicely!  Glad some of you liked our photo!

What a great photographer!!

The west coast is not only stunning but bloody cold.  Went to bed all warm and fluffy and woke up to frost and a totally white landscape!

Day one ever in Ireland included a walk along the coast followed by a lovely pint of Guinness (its true, the ‘black stuff’ really is nicer over here!).

And now for breakfast we are having some White Pudding! — What a voyage of discovery we are having!  Will take some pix but cant upload til we get home as I forgot the cable!

M&J a-Chillin' !!
