Observations on life by a sometimes normal woman who also happens to be a Nana.
I was born in Washington, DC to a young English warbride and an American pa. I grew up equally comfortable on either side of the Atlantic. In late spring, my mother would take me out of my American school, we'd hop a plane or a ship and make our way to England where she'd promptly stick me in a school in my grandparents' neighborhood. As a result, both countries are a comfortable fit. My husband (Himself) is English, our first child was born in London and the second in Washington, DC. And now we're in Southern California, comfortably hunkered down in the Santa Monica Mountains.
We're off to points south in a few hours so postings will be light or non-existant for a few weeks but I'll take pictures of the first place we're staying, Kerikeri (how cool a town name is that?), and the mountains and some Maori stuff and some geysers and hotsprings and bottles of plonk and then I'll take more pictures of sharks and wallabies and kangaroos and koalas and more bottles of plonk.

Oh cool, have a great time!!
Lin have a tops time down under. Did you say you're nowhere near us? (sydney) Re koalas, I saw one recently when we were on our road trip and in Victoria. It was in a gumtree! (of course) by the side of the road which was pretty exciting. The gumtrees the koalas live in have very dark brown rough bark.
Safe journey and enjoy that wine!
We'll be going to Australia next summer, to visit my husband's English side of the family (having been to Japan this past summer, he's demanding equal time.)
Can't wait to hear all about your trip when you get back. Let's get that cup of coffee!
