We are settling in to our new and temporary home in Karori which as a suburb of Wellington. John, Erica and their daughter Meredith who normally live here are in Canada for 6 months so we are looking after it for them.

It is all on 1 level and has beautiful wooden floors and is about 100 years old. Steve is particularly enjoying the garden, his vegetable patches and compost heaps. We also have 80 steps to climb up to the house which is very good for our fitness.

Our friends Margaret and Steve (from Rochdale) will be visiting in 2 weeks time and last night Lizzy and Acky were our first guests for a meal which was great.
