I have 2 cats a ginger called Fred and a calico called Sally. Sally is a rescue cat and it took 2 years for her to be comfortable enough to venture outside now she spends most of her days laying on a table on the back deck.  Fred (rescue cat) has decided my son Michel is his master and spends most of his days laying on his bed. We are coping with Stay Home with weekly visit to shops to buy food and other essentials . We are lucky we live in a coastal tourist town so don't have much problem getting supplies.

This is the Map of the World I would rather see where New Zealand, Tasmania, Hawaii, Polynesian Islands and Antarctica are always included.

The Pacific Ocean is huge.

A Belated Happy New

A Belated Happy New Year.

I sincerely hope everyone has a much Happier New Year in 2020.

My thoughts are with the Volunteer firefighters still battling our fires with help from all the International Firefighters who have come to Australia to help put out these fires.

Photos from my recent trip to the Hobbit Movie Set, 
Hobbiton, Tauranga, New Zealand.






Everywhere you looked was a photographer dream shoot.







Absolutely gorgeous






Cruising from Los Angeles, USA to Auckland, New Zealand on the Ruby Princess 20 nights then I stayed in Auckland for 4 nights then from Auckland to Sydney, Australia on the Golden Princess for 6 nights, we missed out on Napier, NZ as the crossing between the North and South Islands of NZ was too rough so after leaving Tauranga to sailed up to the Bay of Islands then over to Sydney.

I recommend this trip it was a fun way to visit America, Hawaii, Tahiti, American Samoa and New Zealand and finishing up in Australia.
