I plan to continue blogging throughout our trip but from time to time there will be gaps, especially on the long flights to and from New Zealand. I will be reporting on our travels, books being read, book news that comes to hand etc. so keep tuning in but forgive the odd silence.
All best,
Bookman Beattie

Lucky, lucky man. Enjoy it. (Hope you've packed your Kindle).
Hoping to buy a Kindle later in the year Mark, meantime I have several flipbacks!
That Eiffel Tower, when my Dad went to Europe in 1958 as a scholarship student to London, he bought lots of souvenirs of the Eiffel Tower. We were living in Borneo and it was a BIG deal to have gone to the BA LI TIAK TUCK, the metal tower of Paris in Chinese.
He told the villagers of Borneo, his eyes clouded his eyes when he thought how, a little country bumpkin from Borneo, was actually looking up the tower.
I hope you will have fun when you look up at the tower.

Bon voyage, Graham.
You are a machine! Actually, I think it's kind of good you might slow down a bit. As I've said before, miss a day of checking your blog and I've lost an hour or two and I'm far too busy for that!
Had a student (actually one of the 'legendary babes' of my series just return from London. Went to the Globe AND saw David Tennant and Catherine Tate perform Much Ado About Nothing. Sigh.
Sometimes I feel we are hard done by living where we do. In the cultural sense.
Have a lovely time catching up with friends and whanau.
If anyone finds out where to buy flipbacks let me know - the Whitcoulls I went into today didn't have them!
