Bonny's View from down under

We are  currently staying at a Bed and Breakfast in Feilding, NZ (it was voted fourteen times the friendliest town in NZ and the population is 15,000) there are no traffic lights.  The couple, Reena and John Wallis, owners of the B&B are very nice and we are cooking together and sharing recipes.  They have a small garden and a few chickens and we have fresh eggs and vegetables. They have a compost bin in the kitchen and are very eco-friendly We use the clothes line to dry our clothes.

Today we met with a couple going to the UK and Africa for five weeks so they are going to let us stay at their home for 5 weeks, this will give us a chance to find a place to live. We really love their home and would love to live in something similar.    We bought a Toyota Highlander yesterday, got a great deal because it was the last day of the month and their fiscal year.So we can seat 7 and go off-road when visitors stay with us.  So start planning your NZ vacation.

Steve starts work on Tuesday, April 2nd.  Good Friday is a mandatory holiday and the government will fine you unless you have special permission to open your business so the majority of the businesses are closed today (which is your tomorrow - we are 17 hours ahead)  The hospital also celebrates Easter Monday.

Jeffery is studying in London so he was able to visit over his spring break and it was so nice to see him  He was so glad to see the sun and spend a relaxing time with us.

We miss you.

Love,

Bonny and Stephen
