Back in South Yorkshire

Just thought we would give you an update on the past few days. Got back to Sheffield from North Yorkshire on Wednesday and since then we've just been relaxing about the house really. Lazy mornings, early afternoon walks (erins and our 30-minutes-a-day-push-play!) and watching tea-time British game shows has been our life for the last few days! Intense game shows such as 'Deal or No Deal' presented by Noel Edmonds aka Mr Blobby.

But it hasn't been an entirely OAP lifestyle. We've also been starting to plan our backpacking trip into Europe. Before we left NZ we both purchased a 6 Day / 5 Countries Eurail pass. The days aren't consecutive so it's important to make sure you use the pass when it's going to save you the most money and that shouldn't be hard when you consider how much ground we'll cover in our 60 days or more through France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Germany.

We're going to be staying with my Dad here in Sheffield for the next couple of weeks and in early August we're off down to Bournemouth on the south coast where a lot of my family lives. My cousin gets married in September so we're going to stick around for that and then shoot off on our escapade then. Sandwiched in between will be a trip into London to see everyone who's there.
