Off again

24 December 2007 | Written in Norfolk
Quite warm for December in England; very cold compared to where we're going
This is our last night in the UK for a while. Tomorrow we're leaving here for Heathrow and catching a 2130 flight to Hong Kong! We're spending four nights there and then leaving for Wellington, arriving in time to see in the New Year.

Woo hoo! We are very excited.

The picture is Pip outside the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff (just before NZ got kicked out of the Cup. It's not been a good year for Kiwi sports folks.) We've been staying in Cardiff, which we like a lot, with our good friend Jenny (to whom many many thanks are due). Sarah got some consultancy work and spent a lot of time on trains. Pip worked really hard on her silversmithing, with a great little workshop in Jenny's scullery.

Watch this space as we travel again.
