What a start !

Received a helpful txt from air New Zealand at 2:15  to say that our flight to Auckland has been cancelled.  Sent a wee shiver of fright through me - as you'd imagine.  Derailed before we'd even begun !!!

All sorted now ( hopefully ) we're booked on the 6:55 so while it'll be a wee bit tight time wise, we'll still make our 9:35 international flight. Phew.  No surprise to anyone that it caused a few anxious moments at St Andrews Square - all sorted now ( cross fingers )

We've been busy cleaning up the house as we're renting it out while we're away.  An absolute pain while we were doing it but an excellent result in the end coz we've heaved or donated or re-gifted enormous amounts of 'stuff'. Good for the soul.  Having said that the kids playroom is still chocka with boxes !

Better go - I'll keep you posted  !

7:10pm
And still in Christchurch.  The plus is that the very nice lady at Koru reception said that they have delayed the LA flight ( not just for the Devlin's - there are 40 of us in the same situation)

We'll get there !  Quick photo of us ...... still in Chch :)
