Righto MB, you shamed me into it - here's our effort, taken from the garden!

I know I said the photos should be from as far afield as possible, but if you're still in the UK or US, this is just about as far as it gets! (at least if you're still on planet earth ;))

You're not looking too cheerful, WG. It looks like Taffy forced you to pose with the sign on threat of turning his hose on you again.

Good effort and, 'hooray', the sun's shining.

Taffy would threaten me with his hose at his peril ..... No, it's just the sun was shining so brightly, my smile turned into more of a squinting grimace :rolleyes:

Afraid we don't have the funds to go anywhere more exotic to take a pic for the challenge, but hey, NZ will suffice

OK ... I think most of us do not like having our mugshot exposed to the world. :rolleyes: Nevertheless, here is an attempt at the 'Challenge' - not a very thoughtful or exotic shot but I'll keep looking for that more interesting opportunity.

Cor, Glenda, you're looking very glamorous and composed. And there's me being battered to death in high winds, having my dress tugged off and my hair ripped out by the roots. *slinks off in shame for poor effort* Still, the one of my hands isn't too bad. Catches my best feature.

Taffy, they're getting worse! You need to go to joke-telling classes....... and quickly.

Okay, I managed to convince Bermygirl to get together and take a Move to New Zealand photo. I think it turned out pretty good, don't you think so?

Well ... at least it was not the "deck".

Must say that I got a few curious looks from passersby in their 4x4s towing their boats to the ramp. Michael Crawford is supposed to have a holiday home to the right of me ... but no one has seen him here yet!

Now there has been nothing happening in this thread for a while.

I took it upon myself to refresh it and used the Expo as my photo opportunity.

The sun was shining in my face at the time (yes there was SUN today)!
