In October we went home to NZ for the first time in many years (too many!) It was great to get back and see everyone again, and we had organised it so it coincided with Ricks 40th birthday and the final of the World Cup rugby. Bonus.

We left Brisbane with all the appropriate gear on


Luca and Toby had a great time catching up and there was a driveway just perfect for ripsticking on

Sophie and Zara partaking in more electronic pursuits

Rick and the girls

Linda and the girls.

We did a lot of sightseeing around our old haunts. This is taken at Waiwera.

Rick spent many a weekend here in his younger days ...

No visit to Auckland would be complete without a drive to Piha ....

.... and a climb up the rock

That's as far up as you can go these days

Yes, that's Ricks head in the middle of us! No show without Punch ...

Some of the Mason ladies

A bit of beach rugby

Pausing for a breather

Zara!

Classic New Zealand

There was lots of eating ....

And a bit of quiet time too.
