Rather than turning left out of the office gates, it was right turn to the airport to start a brief holiday in Spain before leaving for NZ....a nice start to unemployment ;o) En-route to the airport, I picked up my daughter in her birthday present; Rosie, a bright red Ford Ka car. She drove her first car for part of the way with her ‘L‘ plates attached. Slightly nervous with “Dad” in the passenger seat providing “guidance in her driving” we managed to get to the airport safe and sound only for Becca to hand the keys over to a parking attendant. I am sure she threatened him to look after Rosie while she was away.
Spain was a good opportunity to catch our breaths before the long flight to NZ a week later. All the planning and deadlines were now over, it was time to relax. It was great to do very little apart from sit in the sun, wine and dine. At 40 degrees in the shade on some days we are actually started to look forward to the 11 degrees in Wellington.
Now back in the UK for a brief moment we are now packing and repacking what feels like the whole house packed into two suitcases. The 43Kg baggage allowance seems very small! All I need to do is keep on eye on Theresa sneaking the heavy items into my suitcase and using my allowance. Lets just hope the bathroom scales were accurate!!!
All that is left to do is the farewell party....after saying goodbye to majority of the family earlier in the week it’s just the remaining family and friends at a small local venue. The following day and we are off.......cant wait
Although we will be missing Becca’s birthday, we have already started planning her month out in Wellington during August...Lets just hope our furniture gets there before she does :o)
