Maz NZ and Oz

For those of you who don't already know - I have shunned Christmas on Bondi Beach to return to New Zealand for Christmas with Andrew and his family in Nelson. It's a lot more like home here in Christchurch today - freezing cold (thanks to a Southerly wind coming up from the Antarctic) and pouring rain. But we're hitting the road to Nelson (which is at the top of the South Island and is sheltered from the Southerly by all those mountains) in an hour or two, so we hope to encounter better weather there. Mind you - this Christchurch weather feels a lot more like Christmas than Sydney did... so it's not necessarily a bad thing :)

Happy Christmas to you all and if you want to text me - I'll be using my NZ number until the 30th of Dec when I return to Sydney to catch the New Year's fireworks at the harbour.

Nollaig Shona agus Athbhliain faoi Mhaise Daoibh go leir :)
