grounded Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 Goodbye folks, it has been fun knowing you. I shall continue to follow your antics from "the other side". We are now experiencing the true beauty of hindsight. Swmbo was determined to travel light, bringing the minimum in the smallest possible case. It was great. At the start. Since then we have perused shops and sales, all the while me muttering " i dont have a clue where this is going". Now neither of us have an idea where this is going. Certainly not in that tiny purse she termed her "carry on". Carry On is right. The bottleneck is our internal flight from Norwich to Manchester (truly the cheapest and quickest way to make the trip) and we will now have to get Logan Air to look the other way whilst we sneak on with a cabin trunk hidden under my (my!!) Jumper. Have fun. Chris 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our flight has been delayed by four hours too, so we will now be stuck at Norwich until 6pm. Oh, just for the record, no red light and only one precautionary pumpout in 3 weeks. Is it a record we ask? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've only got to look at the news to see that motions have been passed at Westminster, not that it is newsworthy particularly, given what most politicians speak!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grounded Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Hello again. Just to let you know the Kiwis have safely landed back home in NZ around 8am today. I know that seems a long time since leaving our boat on Friday, because it is, but our flight out of Manchester was not until Sunday lunch. We plan to be back, if not before, we will make it in 2022 for our golden anniversary. Anyway i am attaching a picture i took today of the view from the 14th tee of my local golf course in the depths of the New Zealand Winter. 21 degrees. Not Womack Water but not too shabby. Cheers Chris 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
