Trip out
November 27, 2022 in New Zealand ⋅ 🌧 13 °C
Today we went to go and look at a potential ride base for the championship ride in May that mark and Emma organise.
It was an amazing farm (I went just to be nosey) it was 30,000 acres with 22 workers crazy I was one of their many wool sheds which had 9 stands and an incredible set of yards.
On the way home Mark took me up the mountain to see the ski village hasn't got any snow at the minute but was cool to see. Scary how many rocks are under you when you go skiing. A bit weird like a ghost town with no snow or people.Read more
Travelernow that's a proper farmers day out looking around someone else's farm

TravelerGreat photos Jen. Incredible scenery. Nice to see the Ski resports without snow. We used to travel around the alps in the summer testing cars and stop at the Ski slopes, they look so different without the snow. Nice shearing barn ! xxx

Productive day
November 28, 2022 in New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
So today was really interesting we had guys come and TB test the cattle which are hopefully going for live export. So today they took bloods to check for BVD, IBR and John's as well as the TB test.
But They have a very different test over here. So instead of one like our with two different Injections they just have the one and it's done in the tail and then if it reads positive with a lump it then get blood tests done within 10 day to confirm whether it has TB. A much quick job all together really didn't take long at all to do 87 .
Then after that started on the second lot of drenching will only be another couple of days until we have finished all of them.
Had a very unexpected guest come in with the sheep today.
I couldn't get over it.Read more
TravelerHey there keeping busy then, you over there for Christmas ? Stay safe x

Christmas to remember
So on the 22nd December I flew back to Australia from New Zealand to spend Christmas and New year with an amazing family. We managed to keep it a secret from the boys so they were very shocked when I surprised them. One of the best reactions ever. A lot of screaming involved.
It was so much fun the lead up to Christmas making cookies for santa and wrapping presents up for family.
On Christmas eve the boys were so excited and wouldn't go to bed so this year and English santa came and it was so much fun sneaking around.
And on Christmas morning they woke me up bright and early by jumping on my bed.
It was a very strange Christmas missing family and friends but defiantly one to remember!Read more
TravelerA fabulous Christmas in Aus with such an wonderful loving family. We really missed you this year. Christmas is just not the same without you and Liz. We need somebody like you in our lives to keep us organised and in check. Not long before you come home to see us xxxx

For the last three days I have been on the koh phi phi island.
It's amazing very cool places to see with all the street markets and night life.
We first went to a fire show which was mind blowing and of course I had to give it a go.
The the next day we went on a speed boat for the day to go snorkeling and see some very beautiful places. With a very messy night to finish even rode a manchanical bull.
So the next was a completely free day to recover which was needed really so the pool became our home.Read more

TravelerJen, you are looking very confident and a right poser. Most the time, Skiing is about looking fabulous on the slopes and on the chairlifts and you certainly look the part. I can't believe how quick you've picked it up in a few hours. It took me a couple of holidays to master the basics. WELL DONE XXX

Today I was a proper tourist wandering round taking hundreds of photos and buying too many things that say venice.
I went to s. Maria and St Marks Square as well as many different places in between. Even lit two candles for Grandpa and Emma!!
Today was the start of the carnival which happens every year for just short of a month and there was a parade in the main canal and there was all sorts of people in costumes and masks. I thought I would join in so brought a mask to !!!
Got to admit a tad disappointed there was only one boat in the parade 😕Read more
