How do you like that saddle? Did it break in quickly?
4 years agoI've never seen a sign like that one!
4 years agoI loved the Weekly Reader.

4 years agoWow. That’s wonderful. With luck, we might be hearing this again in a video near you.
4 years agoI just thought I'd point you towards the Austin Lounge Lizards song "Saguaro": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_9LDLur5P4, apparently based on an actual event in Arizona.
4 years agoWe like nearly everyone in this country are hoping the election this year goes well for you
We live in the country about a 40 minute drive from Auckland airport , where you would most likely arrive and a similar distance from Auckland city . If you are thinking of travelling in NZ a good time to avoid is from just before Xmas t about mid Jan as it is summer holidays and the place goes mad.

You’re right, we do travel differently now. It’s nice having more time and resources than we did then, and perhaps it’s nice that being older encourages one to slow down and look around more.
NZ is on the table, actually. We’ve been talking about when the right year would be to come down again and see what 30 years has done to the place. We’re likely to either come there this year or to Australia, depending on the state of the world.
Thanks for the offer of using your place as a base. I’ve forgotten - what part of the country do you live in? And if our election goes badly this autumn, how would you feel about adopting us?
They should be very proud of their Saguaro Son.
Great that you'll be with your parents for your dad's birthday!!
How old will he be? We'd love to see a photo of you with your parents when you're there.
I have been reading the 1991 journal you wrote of your tour of NZ what a lot of changes Your mode of travel is so different then you now seem so less interested in the distance you travel, your photos while good then are so much better and now you travel in so much more comfort. For me it was alittle like time travel NZ has really changed considerably though some of the things you point out as oddities seem perfectly normal to me. You should visit the country again and you could always use our place as a base.
Keep safe

Sorry for the dog too! needs rescuing
4 years agoShe's showing off again....
4 years agoYes, and I feel bad about it. A weak moment, but maybe the birds can make a nest out of it. Probably we should bike back and retrieve it along with that rusty bicycle for you, but we’re booked for hotels in the other direction.
4 years agoYes. Rachael and I were just looking at this photo over breakfast this morning. Really a beautiful spot.
