Hi Ollie and Mike!

Thanks for sharing the pictures! I am originally from NZ, and spent 5 years in Oz before finally landing here in Canada. Seeing those pictures brought back a lot of real good memories of beautiful countries! They made me homesick!

Ollie, you were a beautiful young woman, and still are today! You have a lifetime of memories, and are still collecting them! I thank you for sharing them. You are an inspiration to all! You take care!

Hello Olive…..
I so enjoy your stories when I stop by to read. I work in a school district here in New Jersey in the USA and would like to know what advice you would share with young children (ages 7-10)to guide them in their lives. These young ones are like sponges when it comes to life lessons and you have so many gems to share!
Thank you

Mike and you have wonderful stories to tell.

As for politician they act like spoiled little brats well a least they do here in United States.

I actual like oyster fried or in stew. My grandpa Clarence use to eat them raw with buttermilk.
I just could do the raw oyster thing and I tried Buttermilk once again and I didn’t like it way back when and still don’t.

Take care, Dora from Naples Idaho, USA

Hello Olive, I stop by to read your blog often to see what you are up to. The photos Mike are just beautiful. I lived in Hong Kong with my family for five years. While I was there I did get to Sydney, but I never got to New Zealand. I had friends from there who also lived in Hong Kong at the time. We are back in the States in a part called New England. Such a magnificent place you live in Olive. If you would like to visit me in Blogland please do.
Blessings, Karen

Oh wow!! that is all so beautiful, it’s been way too long since I did any hiking or walking like that and it makes me want to do it so much. I’ll have to get into training for it! tho’ here in Florida it’s starting to get too hot to exercise outside too much. It seems we never had winter this year at all.
Well have a great week Ollie. and you have a great trip Mike.

Dear Olive and Mike ~~ The photos of You Olive with Husband no.2 are very nice. I hope that was a happy marriage for you. Mike - A;; the photos are wonderful and have shown us all a lot about N.Z.
as well as the N.S.W. coastal areas. Maybe we should
get our walking areas better advertised as in N.Z.
Take care, both of you. Much love, Merle.

What wonderful photos! I would love to come to your country one day and walk those trails. Olive, I so enjoyed your story about catching that huge fish! You must have been so proud.

Thanks for sharing this lovely post.
