Goodness me I have been neglecting the blog!

Where does the time go? In all honesty I have been a bit busy of late, getting the business up and running as well as having a visitor in the shape of Jan's mum for 5 weeks. We are already in March, amazing!
Apart from our guest being here, there have been all manner of things going on. Went to see AC/DC in Auckland after a break of almost 30 years since I last saw the band - pre Brian Johnson days! An amazing gig it has to be said.
Also got my first taste of super stock car racing when our pals came up from Palmerston North as Kev has been racing stock cars for years. It was great to catch up with them all having not seen them for some time.

We discovered the "hobby" of geocaching, a form of treasure hunting using GPS. Some laugh, but it is a great way of getting out and discovering all sorts of places that you would normally drive past, let alone discover and learn about. It is also good exercise getting to and from the caches.

A lot of the caches are educational too. We discovered the Anchor butter story started just down the road from where we live, have found swimming holes, beaches and waterfalls, historical monuments, and all manner of wonderful walks and places to visit.

Throw in a couple of camping weekends and beach visits and that covers our life since my last blog entry. Expect more photos to appear on here soon..... watch this space!
