One has to enter three examples of one's blogs in one of four categories. I've submitted three of the travel ones in the Lifestyle category.
The trip to NZ is 9 days away when my travel blog willcome to life again. Our desginated hotel in Christchurch is now a pile of rubble thanks to that nasty earthquake. I want to give it a name like the hurricanes but considering all the damage they have done recently feel it would trivialise them. We have new lodgings in Ashburton.
What to pack? Given that it is now Autumn, and that the South Island will be colder than the North Island the answer is layers, including some kind of head covering. I've opted for a scarf which can double as a head scarf in the chillier regions if needed, and a lightweight pashmina which can double as a stole at night when dining. Socks of course and one pair of tights. I suspect my Waldlaufer walking shoes will come in for a work out as will the red parka I bought as a bargain in the USA many years ago. One black cardigan, one skivvy and an assortment of trousers and tops make up the rest.
See you on Monday April 4
