These times are exciting again as there is so much change ongoing. It is not clear yet
where I will work next year, our daughter Clara doesn't know whether
to spend most of next year in Spain or come back to New Zealand,
Lucas is in the middle of planning his future and in particular next
year (but it will probably be in New Zealand). However, we want to stay here in Thames, where we feel local and part of it - whith our family which is getting smaller in number.
I admit I feel awkward about going too much into detail as things are still quite open and not settled yet.
A resource and much fun are our guests from all over the world that stay in our garden shed.
Well, I thought you might like some pictures of a new area we have discovered – Lucas and Luis football team, the NZ Crosswhites, after competing in Sydney, have done a celebration in Long Bay, North Auckland, and once again we were more than surprised what scenic spots you can find in this 1.4 million inhabitants city.
Our friend Linda accompanied us exploring this terrific reserve - while the boys played football and planned their next competition in Melbourne.
I will start with some impressions from the Thames Arts Festival - which is in first place visited by the locals - us among them!

One can see clearly that Kiwis love to disguise and dress funnily!
Here you see some typical rewards or gratification items in an office situation at a meeting: also typical for Kiwi culture. Trophy cups with a chocolate fish in each. The achievements they are awarded for can be quite trivial and commonplace. Kiwis love to encourage!
