On my way back to NZ

Hi Everyone,

I know I've been very quiet for many months but shall endeavour to be much better at blogging during my last few months in NZ. I'm currently on my way back to Auckland and once again I am sat in Hong Kong airport and feeling surprisingly ok... I think this trip definitely gets easier every time and I have now just accepted that it will be painful and uncomfortable and that I just have to deal with it!

I have just had a fantastic couple of weeks at home in lovely Solihull. It was really good to see everyone and catch up on what I've been missing. Briefly popped into Bishop Wilson and Coppice (who did a wonderful harvest festival might I add!) and it was really good to see things are well.

While I've been home I've been lucky enough to see some sights - I went to Bath, Malvern, Stonehenge, Salisbury, to see Evita and even did a hot air balloon ride over Swindon!! I felt spoilt rotten with all the exciting things I got up to and it reminded me what a beautiful place England is and now I can't wait to come back! It did help of course that the sun was shining most of the time I've been back - I was very lucky to have been able to enjoy the good weather.

It's now Tuesday morning UK time but Tuesday night NZ time and I'm currently stuck in the middle in Hong Kong where it's about dinner time! I don't get back to Auckland until lunchtime Wednesday (Is it wrong I am timing things by meal times!!) and am back in school Thursday! Not looking forward to it only because it'll be a shock to the system after such a long break but I am very much looking forward to seeing my class and to telling them all about my adventures! I hope they're kind to me on my return! :)

Will do my best to blog more regularly and keep you posted on my last 3 months in Auckland. I will also attempt to upload a couple of pics from my visit home for you to enjoy.

Missing you all at home already! xxx
