Greetings Blog followers – It’s been a while now so time for an update on what we have been doing during our travels back to N.Z on to Australia then back to Doha via Singapore.
We had such a great month in N.Z. catching up with many friends and enjoying the company of family again. Somehow we managed remarkably good weather considering reports of it being the worst winter for years. It was cold at times especially the -1 on the Napier Taupo road, but we decided that the weather had a fresh, clean and crisp quality absent here in Qatar. We enjoyed a few road trips; up to Okiato with the Moores, Napier to visit mum and Tauranga to visit dad. The sight of cows munching green grass and snow on the hills was a true reminder that we were back in kiwiland. We had a real family reunion with Rocky over from Geelong, Hannah also holidaying back from teaching in Sudan and Ez and Gabby up from Christchurch - it felt like Christmas. Nothing much had changed in Point Chevalier except that someone had painted their fence in our street and sand had been added to the beach. The pies from the Pasadena Bakery were just as delicious as I remember them and I was able to convert Geoffrey to the unique taste sensation - the pie sandwich... my own invention – don’t ever believe anyone who tells you that some bloke from Gisborne was the originator – he wasn’t it was me.

Mmmm... Pie Sandwich... the undescribable sensation missing from Austin Powers' list of things to do.
