We have arrived into New Zealand for a break with the family and a catch-up with the parents and the brother. Landing in New Zealand on my birthday the 18th January after stopover in Singapore, we headed straight down to Ohope Beach to my Parents home. Weather here has been perfect a nice 29.5c first day back and I was out surfing with my brother at 07:30 in just a pair of board shorts stark difference from the 30cm of snow we left in the UK. Glenn
