Family Reunited





Christmas is traditionally a time when families gather for festive fun and the Shakes are no different. A brief trip to Luton and Bury-St-Edmunds proved a wonderful time to catch up and share news of our exciting adventure. Each meeting has added poignancy as it could be the last time we see some people for a long time. But as you can see, it was smiles all around.

Welcome World!


Welcome to the family Shakes blogspot. Over the months ahead we will be posting the odd comment as we embark on our journey from the UK to Auckland, New Zealand. Although our departure is a few months away, we'll be giving regular updates on our progress and describe how we negotiate the challenges that are sure to arise.
