Mud tyres aren’t for sand

Sun, 21 Apr 2024 11:42:17 +1200

While we were bombing around in the sand dunes, the main takeaway is that my chunky mud tyres look great, but are just not practical for the sand. Who knew?

With the help of our awesome new tour guide who is significantly more experienced than me, we explored all through the dunes, onto the beach looking across to Whakaari and Moutohora islands, and conquered a couple of hill climbs.

It’s one thing knowing that yes, the Jeep is literally designed for this stuff, but it’s another to see it absolutely eat everything you throw at it without breaking a sweat. Whether it’s sliding around on the soft sand, dragging itself up hills or just bouncing along up and down the dunes, it’s just so capable.

Reflecting on 7 months

Tue, 06 Feb 2024 10:00:28 +1200

We’ve been in our new home since June.

For the first time, I’m sitting outside, watching birds dart around in the trees, listening to the incessant chirping of the cicadas, and reflecting.

Over those 7 months, there’s been huge upheaval in our lives - new baby!, leaving my job!, new year at school for the little one - and I’ve hardly stopped. I’m going to need to start the next challenge in a few weeks, and I want to savour the time I’ve got.

And as I’m writing, the baby is waking up, the kid needs feeding, and there’s a million jobs to do around the house.

The sun is shining, and I’m so grateful to be here 🩷

The £18 backpack

Sun, 19 Nov 2023 08:16:50 +1200

Back in 2016, in another life on a different continent, for just £18 from Amazon!!, I bought this backpack.

Since then, it’s taken me to:

Venice 🇮🇹
Florence
Czech Republic
Back to the UK again
Venice (again! 💜)
Sydney and Canberra
Allllll over New Zealand 🏡

And it’s been my daily driver going to the office for the past 5 years.

Part of me thinks it’s time for a replacement, but part of me thinks it’s indestructible. Maybe I wait another couple of years and get a full decade out of it. Maybe it outlives all of us 🤷‍♀️
