We have two big 70 zeros to celebrate in 2017 and a celebratory trip to the USA to plan for 2017. Yep, Rob was in touch a few days ago. Have offered accomodation and a personal tour to look at housing options if it's of use to them, as well as background info on the Peninsula.<br /><br />All the best for the coming year!Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-23642065272799809152016-12-29T23:13:21.033+13:002016-12-29T23:13:21.033+13:00Merry Christmas Geoff!

I'm itching for a ride as I've been too busy with a certain birthday involving six and zero a week before Christmas and then having house guests for Christmas itself. Best wishes for 2017. I'm hoping that my mate Rob has actually contacted you by now - I gave him a rev up recently!Tarsnakes Down Underhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04859439380216890525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-68277465843428763402016-12-21T06:50:30.930+13:002016-12-21T06:50:30.930+13:00Hi Steve,

Hadn't heard anything from you since you asked me about possible routes so assumed you decided not to in the end. Would be good to meet if we can but have a pretty full schedule. Better send me some details.<br /><br />Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-43842116839513508692016-12-20T22:22:25.475+13:002016-12-20T22:22:25.475+13:00Great photos Geoff and merry christmas.

Rob has already been criticised on Facebook by one of the female IAM members for having two yellows that clash!! Guys have minimal colour sense :-) .<br /><br />It would be lovely to see you and Roland here at any time of the year - a warm welcome awaits!Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-27563271562638783162016-12-17T06:56:40.464+13:002016-12-17T06:56:40.464+13:00You guys are working a nice colour scheme: the out...You guys are working a nice colour scheme: the outfits matching the bikes (or is it the other way round?). Was this done on purpose?<br /><br />Enjoy the rest of your summer. I hope that one day, I will get to experience Kiwi summertime, too. (Not complaining, though. Both last times were in autumn, which wasn't too bad either).SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-87061990237659182892016-12-17T06:36:07.684+13:002016-12-17T06:36:07.684+13:00Indeed Brandy, must do more of them.

The Pohutukawa might do ok in a sheltered spot and survive occasional light frosts but that's about the limit. Sorry about the weather - looked quite grim from your photo on the blog.<br /><br />You guys have a great time - sounds like the weather for mulled wine!Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-85341420366102173602016-12-17T06:29:44.696+13:002016-12-17T06:29:44.696+13:00Good times.

(the bikes Geoff, the bikes) :-)<br /><br />You are welcome to send some of those trees over here as well, I think we have enough rain to keep them alive, although they may not appreciate the ice we have right now.<br /><br />A very Merry Christmas to you and Jenny and all the best in 2017. Hugs from a cross the pond.
