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 tip of the day

What do you do if you get to the top of the mountain with your bottle of wine and find you've left the corkscrew behind?
You open the bottle with a shoe lace, of course.
First push the cork into the bottle (you will have something to do this with, naturally). Then you tie a knot in the lace, push the knot into the bottle as well and position the knot under the cork. And pull.
Simples. Apparently.

Lawson says the only snag is that the knot is a devil to undo afterwards. I'm just a little bit sceptical and think there may be a few more.....

I've suggested that it may be just as well to buy only screw top bottles.
