Monday 2nd March: Our long journey home. We left the site in Christchurch at 10am and headed west round the outskirts of the city and then south. We stopped briefly to empty the shelves of a supermarket in Rolleston of its supply of Ready Brek. We usually get a delivery from an importer in Auckland every couple of months but he had run out. However he had supplied this supermarket last week so we headed that way, and now Edward's breakfast needs are covered for the next few weeks. We continued south and stopped briefly in Timaru for lunch and then on to Waimate, arriving at 3pm. We've driven over 2100km. We noticed how much greener it was here and then were told it has rained pretty much the whole time we were away, someone said 8 inches had fallen here. So we chose a good time to get away it seems.
By 3.30pm the boys were at gymnastics, then Edward went on to Cubs. By the time I walked to collect him it was raining again.
The photo shows a small portion of the washing pile. Yes, it's our machine from England. New Zealand machines are all toploaders! Two loads done, one more just finished in the machine and the next load waiting. There's still more not yet out of the motorhome. As I type this I'm waiting to find out what tomorrow's weather forecast is.....
