We have moved into our gorgeous new home!
Saturday April 16th was moving day – again! This time we plan to make it a ‘bit’ more ‘permanent’!!! I mean, in the last 5 years we have moved at least once a year, some years even twice. The move…

The Flying Kiwis
Last week we had an opportunity to catch up with some of Stephen’s family. Tim and Jane (Stephen’s uncle and aunt) were in town for 3 days; Kate (their daughter) was here for the week. They stayed with a lovely…
Cherry Trees
This is our 5th Spring in San Francisco and we finally made it to the cherry trees in bloom in Golden Gate Park. Had we waited another couple of weeks we would have missed their splendor again! While there we…
Lovely Trip to London and Belgium
Last Saturday I got back from a 14-day trip to Europe. Stephen had to go to London for work – he’s still there actually – and I decided to go with him. I spent 4 days in London but the…

Back in San Francisco.

Back in the Bay Area!
Between our off-road adventure and getting back to the Bay Area we have seen lots of beautiful, impressive and/or weird things. So indulge me in giving an overview in a few photo albums. On October 8th we made it to…
A Touch of Wyoming, Colorado and Utah
After Mt Rushmore we continued to Devil’s Tower, WY – a close encounter of the best kind! We then left the cornfields of Wyoming for the Rockies in Colorado. ‘Rocky Mountains National Park’ was worth the drive-through. We stopped in…
Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse, SD
After several days of driving through cornfields (and believe me, all cornfields look alike), the Black Hills of South West Dakota were a very welcome sight. Somewhere between the cornfields of Iowa, we did manage to find a ballpark and…
Offa’s Dyke : The Photos
Here are the photos from my hike in Wales.
Greetings from London – part 2.
I am currently in Putney, London, spending my last couple of hours in an internet cafe – of course. In a few hours I’ll make my way to Heathrow to board a plane to Chicago. Can’t wait to be with…
Greetings from London!
Just a quick one to let you all know that I am in London at the moment. Have had a great time so far catching up with friends (Silvia & Wayne, Heleen, Annemie, Kristin) and wandering around. And I’ve got…
Greetings from Llangollen!
I know it’s been a while, but internet access in these little hamlets I’ve been staying in has been non-existent. The one place that did have a library with a connection I hit on the weekend, so the library was…
