It was 25 years ago today - DR Leaves UK for NZ

UK 1987 - Maggie Thatcher Prime Minister. Golliwogs banned from Enid
Blyton books, BA Privatised, Edwina Currie says "good Christians won't
get AIDS", Rich Ashley has the top UK single of the year, with The Firm
"Star Trekkin'" at No.9, and Top Gun won top movie at Brit awards.
Coventry beat Spurs in FA Cup, and Everton won the First Division. Is it
any wonder I left!

Quality time in Wanaka

Nelson, Puponga, Hokitika => Wanaka, staying with Phil and Sandra. Not a bad spot! Killing time target shooting before we head off to the rodeo. We also had a day at lake swimming, kayaking, biking and getting burnt. Next stop Alexandra.
