On 8 December we begin our journey back toNew Zealand. Not to go ‘home’, as we no longer have one. But back to our home turf.

The early departure is prompted by Sophie’s graduation on 11 December in Dunedin. A much anticipated event and one that all family members are gathering for – a treat in itself.

There is marketing work lined up between then and Christmas, then more in Sydney on the return journey, before getting back here on 14 January.
