Building a home and having fun

Yes! It's happening!! The house build started this week, on Tuesday 24 February to be exact. So far the site has been cleared of the mass of gorse that had grown since we bought the land and the outline of the house has been marked with bright pink spray paint. The excavations start next week so watch this space to see the house grow.

So far 2009 has been fun. Maureen and Stuart came to stay from Oz for almost a week during which we packed in sightseeing, a boat trip on the Coromandel, golf, a jet boat ride, a walk to the top of the Mount, plenty of laughs and some excellent wine and a few G+T's.

Since then we have seen Simply Red at Villa Maria Winery in Auckland, Billy Connolly in Rotorua and the Kapa Haka championships in Tauranga. Who said NZ is behind the times? We don't think so!!
