Nelson (& Kiaokora!), New Zealand

Sally and Neville, proprietors of the Cathedral Inn, run a traditional UK style B&B setup so we went down to breakfast for an interesting menu selection that included pancakes, bagels with cream cheese and smoked salmon or a salmon and avocado omelette. My choice for today had to be the 'Heart Attack Breakfast' although I sincerely hop…

Annie and Rod Haig Hi you two! Hope you continue to have a great time! Rod and I are home and feeling chilly - Adelaide had a heatwave of 37C when we got there. I took Rod to the Moody Blues concert whilst in Adelaide (the festival hall was air-conditioned big plus) - it was wonderful and we got very giggly when the drummer said he'd just celebrated his 70th b'day! We sang all the way back to our B&B "whiter shade of pale" - luckily no-one was about. Keep in touch and we'll be checking up on this blog.

Sally Hi Henry and Nicola The blog is great, the details on food, accommodation, history and most of all Nicola's account on the frequency and type of rubbish collections in Melbourne is outstanding. I believe that if you two had been around in the 17th century a certain Samuel Pepys and his diary would have been totally overshadowed by the Cressey's . Very jealous of course, it's cold and wet here but all is well. Cheers Sally

Sally Hi Henry and Nicola you look to be having a great time really enjoying reading the blog. Just watching Harry Hill and getting ready for Merlin (Morgana's gone really mad) Will let you know how it goes. Just had M&S dine in for two - between 4 of us (times are hard ) the food was fine it was the one bottle of wine that's tricky. Cheers Sally
