Jane Thompson - Kiwi in the UK

This is my blog about my life in the UK in the 12 months from July 07 to July 08. It was an amazing year out, full of adventures. This blog is a record of some of these. There's stories about travelling to Europe, theatre, horse events, shops, restaurants, pubs and the London scene. Books, authors and photos also feature as do events with a New Zealand flavour in London. There's also thousands of photos, including lots of various equestrian events. Enjoy!

Update

I'm just back from a holiday in Spain with Legs, Pat, Sam and Robyn Carey and took lots of photos, especially of the kids. http://picasaweb.google.com/jane.thompsonuk/SpainWithTheCareys

Tomorrow Cathy (sister) arrives from New Zealand to stay with me in London. The flat is very full at the moment as I also have Aunty Pat and Judy staying. They attended Wimbledon tennis today so I am looking forward to catching up with them and finding out how it all went. Unfortunately some of us had to work.....

Sunday I'm going to Barbury Horse Trials in Wiltshire. I'm looking forward to seeing all the kiwi riders there, there are a bunch of them competing including Jonelle, Tim, Toddy, Annabel, Dan, Joe and more. Blyth also arrives in UK today and will be there too.

Congratulations also to Katie McVean, Sharn Wordley, Daniel Meech and Bruce Goodin for making the NZ Olympic showjumping team. All the best for Hong Kong guys.
