A day to fly!

Round at my friend Nat's house in Balsall Common :) It's so handy for Birmingham airport!

Lovely time talking and walking the dog through the fields - realised how little we've seen of each other this year - t'was great to have a chance to catch up a bit. Nothing like a long walk to get people talking.

Really excited about New Zealand! In fact... we were so excited that Nat, in her own words 'had a blonde moment' and we almost ended up at the airport a day early!!!

Jeff drove down to meet me for a last time and to give me my DSLR which I had purposely left behind... then changed my mind!! :P
