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.......

Lawson's sayings

1. 'Careful with those.' 
     Each time I wash up the wine glasses we bought so that we could enjoy the local Pinot Noir.
2. 'That might have been a Cirl Bunting'. 
     When a small bird moves on before it can be identified.
3. 'There's a plane'.
     Upon seeing anything with wings that's not a bird.
4. 'That's a bonus; another duck'.
     Liz, Richard, Gordon and Suzanne will understand this sentiment. Others may not.

And in case you thought I was joking about visiting dumps:-


The dots on the water are birds
