We’ve Sold It!
The journey of our camper has sadly come to an end, we sold her on 30th June to a young couple from France who are here to travel for the year. It was a shame to see it go but good to know its going to be back on the road touring the country once again. It didn’t take long to fill the empty patch on our driveway, infact we’ve had a car lined up for a while but needed to sell the camper. So now we are the owners of a very well looked after Subaru Legacy which is much more suited for our day to day shenanigans along with adventures that might require the odd nights kip in the boot, we both fit in rather well!

Our New set of Wheels
Meanwhile we’re still waiting for the snow its a late kick off for the season but the forecast is looking good for next week. My Lifite training went down a treat and theres a lot more to the job than i initially thought. At one point we we’re getting kitted up in harnesses, scaling the lift towers and throwing ropes over the cable practising evacuation in the event of a lift failure. Its all exciting and i can’t wait to get up there with the rest of my 30+ liftie crew. Plenty of pictures once we’re underway

Hi Emma and Lee, great to read what you are both up to. Life in New Zealand is definately suited to you both. It is super that you saw guy, bev and the girls, a super family. We have been enjoying the summer holidays and having a full house again. The girls have just been enjoying a christian camp for teenagers, for just under three weeks. I did a week in the kitchen, with plenty of walking round and about ripon, a lovely place. I surprised alan and took him to Portugal for five days, a super place to visit. alice has just turned 17 and has started to drive, very careful in the car park where I bravely took her, I will let you know how she gets on, you can check out her pictures on facebook. Take care of yourselves. Love suzanne x x

Hi Emma and Lee
It was great talking to your live Emma and listening to what you are up to now. Matthew has gone on holiday with his friends today and Alice has been driving me mad!!!! No she has had two lessons and is doing very well as she is so keen to drive me anywhere. It is back to school for Grace and me on Monday I am teaching 6 year olds, should be fun.
Take care of yourselves and when you get chance keep updating us. Lots of Love suzanne and family. xx
