I'm taking a blogging break as I'm off on a coach holiday for the next couple of weeks. I write the blog on my lap top, but don't want to have to carry it around with me. But I will be able to keep up with my blog reading on my small tablet. which will be packed away in my suit case.
And talking about packing - this was never an issue when we traveled by by caravan, there was room for everything, and more. I always used to pack a pile of books, my knitting bag and stitchery bag. Several wooly jumpers, just in case, and more clothes than I ever needed. This time I have to be much more organised, and take only what I can fit into my suitcase.
What I am taking as an extra, it a set of blocks to make another traveling memory tablecloth, made with New Zealand designed fabrics, plus the marking pen. Some batiks and some prints, with a centre white square to mark the places I'll be staying at, and the attractions visited.
I'm traveling right up to the very top of the North Island, Cape Reinga, haven't been up that way for about 30 years or so! Cape Reinga is a very spiritual place, as the Maori people believe that the cape is the point where the spirits of the dead enter the underworld.
Gemma is in the cattery having her own holiday, and I'm on my way, bag packed and ready to go. This coach trips seems quite fortuitous as Robin and I had planned to go on a caravan trip up to Cape Reinga next summer. That can't happen now of course, since he has passed away, but he will certainly be with me in spirit as I travel around. I'll certainly be blogging all about it on my return.
