J is growing fast. He is now taller than R and I notice him growing between weekends. He is 14, becoming a young man and will be able to drive a car on the New Zealand roads in a year if the law does not change. Changes are going through NZ parliament at the minute to try and up the driving age to 16. I hope they succeed before this time next year. More young people would be alive if the driving age was 18 or 19 or 20….
Because it was a longer weekend J and I decided to drive to Cambridge on Saturday and pick up the last of our stuff at Uncle Jim and Aunt Jean’s. We left after watching France lose to Argentina again and arrived in Karapiro for lunch. Cousin Jamie arrived in mid-afternoon, the first time we had seen him since we arrived in NZ last November. Jamie had his girls, Rose and Helena with him. Their mother is in Cyprus with her sister who is very ill.
