We are on the road again! After leaving Pukenui last Friday we have made our way into the Hokianga to explore before travelling south via the West coast.

Our September has been very full of visitors and adventures and it has been great to see themselves growing in knowledge and experience. Herself has become a great catcher of fish now and is often the only one to get anything .. though sometimes they are little or get away before she lands them. Thankfully she is also becoming a dab-hand in killing, filleting and cooking up all those fish.

Himself is now a year older and while it was a quiet event at the campground he did have the excitement of camping the night before thanks to herself's planned camp. I don't think he has ever gone to bed so early the night before his birthday and woken so early! Just after we went to bed on the bus we could hear them talking and found out later than himself had woken, heard noises and thought it was his birthday morning while in fact it was 10.30pm the night before!! They did wake a 6am on the big day though and herself made him a pancake breakfast camp style :)

It is nice to be travelling again and to have let go of some of the clutter that invariably collects when you are in one place too long. What is especially nice is to be parked up with nature at the doorstep and not another soul in sight. We are truly spoilt in the life we live and in the country we live in.

Anyway ... though it is a brief account of the month I will sign off and trust that a photo really does say a thousand words.
