ABOUT US



ABOUT US
We are from Cornwall, England.
We love to travel and to explore places in a campervan. We find
wide open spaces exhilarating
and do lots of walking. Show us an accessible hill or mountain and we want to go up it.
We like watching birds but are not twitchers. To be honest Lawson is more into bird spotting than me but what I find amazing

is the diversity of birdlife, and the fact birds of all sizes continue to live side by side with us humans. So, in the course of our explorations
we may make a detour to the local dump because more often than not it will be one of the best places to see birds.
We are sure New Zealand will not disappoint us when it comes to birds but what about other wildlife and natural wonders?
Will we encounter anything to beat the sight of polar bears on sea ice at the North Pole?
And what will we think of the house at Paraparaumu that Ron and Vivien have built? All will be revealed.......

HIT THE ROAD

The station info said it was on time but the FGW train pulled into our local station 15 mins late, and confusion reigned when passengers with seats booked in carriage B found it didn't exist. Also those with seats booked facing forward were going backwards. But the quiet carriage was quiet (apart from some gentle snoring, and general merriment at the startled expression of the man about to get off at Westbury when it was announced that there might not be a platform at some exit doors).
We've had our first disaster; Lawson lost the button on his trousers and declined to let me use my needle (sharp) and thread to sew it back on (with him still in them, of course). So I was waiting for him to lose his trousers each time he went to the buffet car.
But here we are in the departure lounge of Terminal 3 of London's Heathrow airport. We should be boarding in 5 mins.
Time to go. Dubai here we come.
