This summer we've had an absolute treat in terms of visitors coming to NZ!

First visitor was Frostie – and we had fun tandeming around Waiheke and we went up to Goat Island and Matakana for a bit of sun action. 

Whobbling around on the tandem....I'm rubbish at the controls!

Then Mum and Dad arrived – they couldn’t stop themselves helping out with the DIY – great job the Commander, he stripped 5 windows and repainted the outsides and they look FAB!  Thank you!  And Mum single handedly sold 31 jandals at the Auckland Anniversary Day market– she was very convincing in her knowledge of the product! thank you Mum!

Next up was Lauren (lovely ex student of mine from LMS) - Lauren was on a world tour, and began her travels with us....

Then Phil's Uncle Rob and Auntie Bev were revisiting NZ - and we had a fun few days with them including a trip to Rangitoto by bike....Bev and Rob braved the tandem! Impressive ;)

Shorty and Nick were with us for a crazy weekend of surfing/mountain biking and kite flying. And now we are awaiting the arrival of Debs and Nick (Phil’s bro/sis) and then Matty and Hugo (my bros).  So its YEAH YEAH YEAH!  (Caz/Vig…when did you say you were coming by the way!???)
