Jude and I had a fantastic day today as we took my sister Una and husband Steve from Canberra Australia for a ride up to the Borland Saddle. Leaving from the farm at Otautau we headed to Brunel Peaks Cafe on the corner of Blackmount Redcliff Road and Lake Monowai Road for lunch, a beautiful cafe in a beautiful setting. The staff were absolutely wonderful and very welcoming, just had that personal touch. As for the food, a good selection, generous portions and everyone enjoyed every mouthful… well I did anyway, just a treat. After topping off a wonderful meal we enjoyed a cup ofRead More →

It has been quite sometime since we have put a post up as we have been really busy over the past 6 months… yeah I know sounds a bit pathetic and I have to agree to be honest.

The good news is the Drone Baby Stalk is delivering a brand new one at no cost. However its been a hectic and brutal 30 months with the “Covidie thingy” and it has been hard watching as friends and family have been divided by thisRead More →

The weather was quite settled and we were hopeful of heading away, Nek Minute the heavens opened the flood gates lol it absolutely bucketed, looking at the long range forecast which was not for settled days we go to Plan B, forgo our eastern tiki tour and decide to head back inland to Rotorua. We leaveRead More →

Well it’s been a long time since we have put a post up and many will be wondering “where the bloody hell are ya”. Where?…. This year Aotearoamer is parked up at Trevelyan’s Pack and Cool Stores…. Why?… because we are sick budgies looking for a different perspective in life, we just want to remind ourselves of what working is like and working is exactly what you do in these packhouses. Last year we experienced the kiwi fruit season in Gisborne and had an absolutely awesome time with our dear friends Ian & Tui Harrington. What a blast that was… worked our butts off forRead More →

While the rest of the country is having a ho hum summer, Motueka has been having a pretty good summer season, not as good as the last couple of years, but overall better than most other places. Jude and I have enjoyed some hot as days and caught up with some friends we have met during our Moho life. The house sit is over and it’s now back on the road… at the moment we are still in Motueka enjoying the good weather while waiting for the NZMCA “Music In The Mountains” Rally at the end of this month (Jan). We have had a wonderfulRead More →
