Magnificent Magnolia!

I bet no one has used that title before.

Home sweet home, and it certainly is.  Flew San Francisco to Auckland, got offered an earlier connection to Christchurch which was great and we were met by Mum, Anton and Gina.  Really cold here but at least not bucketing with rain as in Auckland.

We've had seven brilliant weeks, flown right around the globe, walked and biked many, many kms, meet some lovely new people, reconnected with old friends and family and had the best time!  So if you fancy a quick trip please see my back blips, just click back from today!

They include: Tokyo; a few places in bonny Scotland; York; London; Paris; the Loire Valley; southern France; Venice; Bologna; Florence; Milan and San Francisco.
