    Hiya
    Haven't been able to post for the last few days as have had far flung family drop by. Cousins from New Zealand on their way around the world. Such a surprise, it was wonderful esp as we had never met face to face as it were. Got home to have a message on the answer machine saying that they were at Heathrow and could I meet them:T
    Have you tried to describe yourself to people you've never met, it was more difficult than I thought.
    Given that they had traveled so far, it was hard to explain it would take me 3 hours to get to the airport even leaving straight away!
    Have been laughing for days, telling each other stories. good company and plenty of cups of tea, what more can you want for.

    The next day went to a 'typical' pub it was so nice not to have anyone commenting that I was on the pints of ginger beer, as they tried the ale. Real ale seems not to be at Kiwis taste though they worked their way along the pumps as I went on to the lime and soda:)

    It was not difficult, no bells or temptation. not even on the following days we were in the pub. It feels grand, I can honestly say that it was not difficult to do. I guess the real test will be when I'm with my usual crowd. But time will tell I guess.

    So its13 days AFfor me please.
    Hope all is well for every one
    Take care
