is getting lots of attention in the press isnt it? I feel quite cool to have had a blog a long time before it became trendy or popular ! It wasnt my idea of course but that doesnt stop me being ahead of the times!
We collected our new car on saturday. I was a bit nervous about driving it but have overcome that now and am really quite enjoying it- I like it a lot more than I did. And S is delighted with himself about it. We showed it off to our families so noone else need be bored silly with us raving about the car!
I saw a neighbour to my parents on saturday - I hadnt seen her for about 5 years at least. She is roughly my age and had just come back from a year travelling. For those of you that dont know about my obsession with New Zealand then you just need to get to know me better! But suffice to say I love it- could easily live there- and Simon hasnt ever been and is v aware that he needs to go to make me happy! But I asked this girl which was her favourite part of her proper round the world tour (she went to places even I have never heard of!) and she said that it was - of course- New Zealand. I defy anyone who has been there to say that they cant understand why she said that.... Simon just rolled his eyes at yet another person raving about it! Two other good friends of mine went there in September as I have been banging on about it since 1997. They were convinced they would prefer Australia (which they have been to a couple of times) but since visiting the South Island they are now planning to go to the North Island next year! They loved it and cant imagine why anyone would choose Aussie over NZ! Of course- speaks for itself.... Now i just have to figure out when Simon and I are going to go back there... Havent been since 2002 so probs due a visit!
