Hiya guys .. sorry about leaving you all in suspense.
We are fine .. we collected Willow from the airport yesterday - was a bit of a faff to-ing and fro-ing to MAF, custgoms and then cargo, but she's here all fit and well. Only slight problem is that I don't think she wee'd the whole time she was on the plane, and now keeps going!!
The rest of the day was spent quietly as wanted to keep her calm and get things back to normal.
Did our first food shop at the supermarket - took ages as wasn't sure what to buy. First impressions are that meat is very expensive .. but the rest of the stuff seems quite comparative to UK prices (but that's working on a uk wage).
Went to Auckland the day before and had a mooch, some lunch and then dragged poor Jon up the sky tower ... kids loved it, but Jon isn't too keen on heights. Read our blog for the drama afterwards regarding car lights, and breakdown services
Today we are going to have a wee drive - or rather, I am, as I have to navigate my way to Auckland airport alone on Monday morning as I'm flying to Christchurch for an interview.
Rain has been horrendous ... but in between it has been bright sunshine, and we have seen some of the most magnificent rainbows.
Best go and get ready to go out ....
Lou
