Life with the Redwoods

Where does one start - lets go back to Anzac day. A lovely sunny day, so we took Emily for a spin in the trailer down the local walkway to Ambury Park in Mangere.

When we got home we had decided to move to Wanaka.

A mere 4 days drive with a small child. Rick has a job with Blueshark Enterprises, who import a whole raft of mountainbike parts and accessories.

So we've been packing boxes, cleaning and re-cleaning again after the tradesmen have gone from the house.

New paint in the kitchen -ceiling and walls. New light fittings in the lounge and hall.

Tiling guy is due tomorrow and waterblasting man too.

Stuff been thrown out out left right and centre - Emily's collection of re-cycled kids bikes has been put back into the organic rubbish collection where it originally came from.

Real Estate agent to wrangle with. Nearly fainted when we found out the cost of moving our house and garage load of wordly goods to Wanaka. Phew!

Emily of course doesn't know what the hell is going on, but took some time out in the garden this afternoon to blow off some steam while the Real Estate agent took photos and generally embibed us with his enthusiam for upgrading to a new Audi. He didn't say that of course but actions speak louder than words.
