I'm glad to say that I'm now quite well. I had chest infections up to Christmas, but three weeks in the New Zealand summer helped my recovery immensely. We were there from December 19th to January 8th, and had a lovely time - visited our new house, saw my favourite uncle (Roy), celebrated Xmas in the sun, and saw the New Year in at my brother's farm. We played with my six great nieces and great nephews, and that was fun. We drove miles and miles the length of the country, from the Bay of Islands in the north to Dunedin in the south, with visits to Rotorua (Xmas), and Maruia Springs ( just before New Year). It was really relaxing and just what Heather and I needed.
Now I'm back to the day job - knowledge manager and knowledge broker at Leeds University, and thinking of ways to go and work and live back in New Zealand. I can dream...
