Not sure if you remember me but I was the one who blogged everyday.....religiously! Even a trip to London last year couldn't keep me away from this blog. My excuse for being absent? Well I think it's a goodie.............I took a trip! Not just any trip but a school trip.......with 42 others..........from 11 - 15 years old.......to New Zealand. I know, I know - what was I thinking? Did I seriously think I could blog about interiors whilst dishing up hamburgers, doing the hakka, and getting about in a mini bus with a whole lot of pre - teens? Yes sirreee I did! Well, two weeks later I am on the other side of what was one of the best trips I have ever taken (me plus my very first ever cold sore, but that's a whole 'nother story.....) and I am exhausted. We bused all over the North Island and saw some of the most amaaaaazing scenery you could hope to see. My bus load of the older kids (most of them with their hats on backwards) looked seriously daunting, however by the end of day one it was evident that they were all delighful! So, if you ever get a chance to..............
- visit New Zealand - DO IT!
- go on a school trip with your son or daughter - DO IT!
- stay at a caravan park on the edge of a trout stream - DO IT!
- spend 12 days on a mini bus with a group of unlikely looking 13 - 14 year olds, well JUST DO IT!
yes, my son is in here......
and in here..
and in here!
Ha ha - that's him too!
I haven't shown any faces because I don't want to breach any one's privacy but needless to say there were grins from ear to ear.
Oh, and did I mention that I am 6 months pregnant? And exhausted? And have a cold sore?
Ok, one thing I could do without......showering in a communal block...
It's good to be back!

That looks like a great trip, such a beautiful place. My son just went on a school trip to Washington, DC. I almost wish I would have gone with him.... ;)
well it does actually sound fun. I'm sure you didn't start out thinking it would be. Sometimes life can amaze us when we do things out of the ordinary. Good on you!

It's ages since I looked at your blog - BLOODY HELL. Congratulations. Very exciting news. Michael and I are sitting on the couch quite shocked but very happy for you all. Give love to the family, let's catch up one day before the end of the year (that, at least, sounds achievable!)
