From the Far North

12" of snow in Devon? We go away for a few months and the place goes haywire! I will not mention the weather here.

Still no laptop so just a quick update. We have been up to the far north in our borowed campervan with more beautiful beaches and mountain forests. We have had a Czeck hitchhiker on board for the last couple of days as it seemed too traffic free to leave him anywhere but he's a nice guy so no worries. Also lots of Maori in this area so very interesting especially as its the big day of the year when they celebrate the Treaty of Waitangi, when some sort of accommodation was made with the British settlers.

Will try to get laptop fixed and update blog in next few days. In the meantime those of you in UK keep warm

Wasn't 12" here much to the children's disgust...there was however enough for a pre-school snowball fight which Pat and I thoroughly enjoyed!
Come home soon before we are visited by the 12 plagues!
