Holidays, houses, home?
Well, I've not been in a right chatty mood of late and so blogging has fallen by the wayside a little, even since the Scouses went home. I suspect it might continue to for a while so apologies if you keep feeling compelled to check and nothing is there... So I've put in a whole heap of photos to compensate. ;)
Our holiday was fabulous but the first week was exceedingly tiring. We went over to the South Island and indulged in much beautiful scenery along with some good walks, good cake, good wine, amazing drives, animal spotting (birds & seals mostly), lie ins, early starts, beaches, glaciers and fun.
We were then home for the weekend so Husbink could work and I c
ould lead the Easter morning service which was very much a privilege.
We then had a few more chilled nights in Martinborough, just over the hill (we went there before, see here). We pootled on bicycles, went to wineries, ate lots, slept lots, and the Scouses taught us cribbage. We are now addicted. Though we prefer to call it "cabbage".
The Scouses left last Thursday which was very sad. We had a fantabulous time with them and miss them lots.
So a few short hours before the Scouses left, we got a letter telling us we would be kicked out of our house o
n May 25th. This is not a big problem, barely even a problem, as if we intend to stay, we wanted to move somewhere a bit cheaper anyway and if we are not staying it is two short weeks before Husbink finishes work and we already have several offers of beds for that time. The problem comes that we really must now galvanise our thoughts and decide which it is to be. Should we stay or should we go now? I can argue really convincingly either way at the moment and no one is brave enough to argue back.

Amazing photos Jen, especially the one of the river and of the rose. Hope you are able to remain peaceful despite uncertainties. I am not brave enough to argue either way. xxxx

dw - :) doing pretty well on the calm front. a few more phone calls and we may have a decision...xxx
Oh, I missed that you'd updated so now am really far behind! Umm... come home :) Not really, if you don't want to of course but our little chat this morning made me all hmmmm-y on the way to uni. Big fluffy hugs!
And very cool glaciers and particularly lovely photo of the four of you. It reminded me of rugby matches and being told which players we could fancy "because they are real men" and then made me think that a pic of Husbink, Mr Scouse and the Tart might be amusing at some point just so we are perfectly clear on what 'real men' look like! Tee hee! :) xx
Tee hee hee! Ah, "real men" is even more of a thang here! You'll notice Husbink wears shorts these days...
Sorry to make you hmmmy. More chattery soon, now there is skype-age, all the better! mwah, mwah MWAH!
