NZ Correspondent apologises.....

Im sorry to Esther's blog watchers for any inconvenience and distress caused by me taking over the blog.  I did not intend any of it.  And Im sorry to my dear wife - I was told that Esther may not see the funny side of the previous photo posted, so I will wait and see, but Im sure that as soon as she gets access to the internet the blog will be down for immediate maintenance and the photo will disappear. And fair enough.

So, to save the day, I have found another photo that clearly captures the essence of Esther - no shopping involved here...

We are all missing you and look forward to your next update....

Alex (the NZ correspondent who will be in big trouble) Skinner
