Well, it’s official, my best friend Winnie is now in the Mother Country, enjoying scones, earl grey tea, cucumber sandwiches with the Queen and pints of lager.

Actually, apparently she’s not having too flash a time at the moment, probably because of the shitty hostel she was in, the beggars, crazies and arguing Welsh couples.
So, no cucumber sandwiches so far, but I’m sure it’ll pick up.

Well, I just got back from my trip up north with Kate’s family. What a blast!

After travelling up the east coast (camping all the way, of course) we arrived in Paton’s Rock, a small community near Takaka in Golden Bay. Apart from soaking up the sun
and roaming the perfect beach right outside our front door, we also went on several bushwalks, water skied, swam, ate (LOTS), went on enormous rambles up an icy-cold river, walked 34km of the heaphy track (totally unprepared for the nasty weather change which forced us to rely on the kindness of fellow trampers) and drove thousands (literally) of kilometres.
To tell the whole story takes hours and hours, so I won’t bother with the details, but suffice it to say it was the best summer vacation that I can remember.
Bring on next summer!

For those of you who haven’t already heard, Sophie was stabbed to death in her home on wednesday. A court order prevents me from publishing the name of her killer.
These past few days have been the saddest in my life, and I cannot begin to express my sorrow.
Her funeral will be held tomorrow at 2pm, at St Hildas Collegiate chapel.
Rest in peace, little Sophiecat. You will be most sorely missed.
