January 2013

After only six days in Queenstown I had to go to a thinking conference in Wellington. Although it wasn't easy leaving everyone behind this was a great way to meet all the staff at Remarkables. The conference was excellent too, although a lot of it flew very high over my head! I also sneaked a visit into the Embassy Theatre, Peter Jackson designed the sound system, to see The Hobbit.

The boys were on their best behaviour and things went pretty well whilst I was away, although I was asked to speak to 'your son' towards the end of the week.

Since we have been here it has been made obvious that the summer in Queenstown is all about cycling so before I left we made sure that we had everything necessary. Subsequently Fran was brave enough to go on one of the fifty tracks in and around Queenstown with the boys. They loved it but Tom had a few issues with his bike, hence the phone call.
