Ok so Google maps is a liar 😂 well you can’t Ok so Google maps is a liar 😂 well you can’t account for traffic jams I guess. Yesterdays 3 hour drive was actually more like 5 but on a plus note it was a beautiful drive through the Pyrenees and as Dylan said “it looks like we are in Africa”. 

Arrived on site in roughly 42 temps so setting up was fun but both children are used to it and now older they got stuck in with pumping and hammering the awning pegs. Thank goodness for an awning that is so easy to put up that a 7 year old and 13 year old can manage it. 

Here for a week. About a million pools and the sea next to us. Entertainment that will make Js toes curl but the kids will love it. 
I’m off to snooze with my book. 
It’s taking some planning this trip but we’ve made it...

30 years I’ve known Mr Lane. The reason we met, 30 years I’ve known Mr Lane. The reason we met, the person that introduced us, a good friend, the best of friends left us a today. 

I am shocked of course not just for what I’ve lost but for her family. 
Doesn’t feel real that such a friend, the best of friends with the greatest of memories has gone. 

I don’t drink mid week but tonight I will be having a drink for her but not a special brew like back in the day!

So many amazing memories, how blessed I was to know her ❤️

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads those sparky Dads, go and give them a squeeze from me today. I was so lucky to have the sparkiest of them all ❤️

5 natural holidays to try out in New Zealand

New Zealand is full of natural wonders. With its astonishing landscape inspiring movies and literature for years, it is one of the most impressive natural landscapes on earth.

For those looking to visit New Zealand, choosing a natural break is certainly a good way to go. Rather than citie scapes, choose natural landscapes that are millions of years old.

Travel to New Zealand is often a once in a lifetime experience so make sure you are protected, as life does happen. There are plenty of adventure activities to try while you’re out there, and trying them is one of travel writer Ben Groundwater’s suggestions.

This is a truly beautiful location, that every world traveller should see. Here we’ll guide you through the very best natural holidays that New Zealand has to offer. 

1) South Island Penguins
Penguins might not be the first animal that comes to mind when you think of New Zealand, but a visit to this beautiful country is indeed an opportunity to see these lovable animals in their natural environment. The Otagu Peninsular will allow you to see blue penguins enjoying the local beaches and there is even the chance to spot whales, seals and so much more at this naturally resplendent location. 

2) Birdwatching in Fiordland Natural Park
The Natural Parks of New Zealand is unlike anywhere else in the world. With over 2,500 species of birds in New Zealand, animal lovers should certainly go birdwatching while visiting. Fiordland Natural Park offers some of the best bird watching opportunities around. You’ll see birds such as the famous Kiwi and Yellow Eyed Penguins while visiting this beautiful park.

Take a local tour to learn about conservation and make sure to stick to public footpaths and respect local rules and guidelines designed to protect the animals. 

3) Bay of Islands
The seas around Australasia are some of the most vibrant and full of life in the world. Any nature lover understands the power, mystery and beauty of the ocean. A visit to Bay of Islands should certainly include a whale and dolphin watching excursion with a local boat. The views of whales and dolphins dancing on the waves here is truly awe-inspiring. 

4) TranzAlpine Railway
The famous TranzApline Railway gives travellers amazing views of the surrounding area. Far more accessible (and environmentally friendly) than a helicopter ride, the railway is accessible to all and is a great way to reach the highest points of the area without that mammoth trek. Take in local wildlife and appreciate the vast beauty of this wild landscape from the comfort of the train. Board at Arthurs pass and travel to the Southern Alps to take in some of the most beautiful mountains in New Zealand. You’ll get a great view of the variety of landscape New Zealand has to offer. 

5) Waiheke 
Take a cruise tour of this beautiful region and view nature at its finest from the water. The area also has an amazing mauri heritage and tours of the local area will often include cultural experiences and opportunities to buy local artsand crafts. You’ll see an epic landscape and get close to nature in this largely unspoilt part of New Zealand.
