From a Distant Corner of the World

I've known Christine since the mid-1970s, when she was living in England. She's from New Zealand: she used to live in Auckland and now lives in Coromandel. Since she went back to New Zealand in the late 1970s, Christine's been over to visit Europe three times and this time she's been here for three months, visiting France and Italy as well as the UK - and she came to Tenby with us for a few days last week.

Whenever she's here, it seems as if she's always been here, so it's strange when she goes home. Tomorrow she goes back to New Zealand. Tonight we've been talking about what we'll be doing next week and it seems strange to me that she'll be doing things at the other side of the world.

Christine's daughter, Jennie, lives in Melbourne, Australia, and has made this extremely enjoyable video. It's strange to see the park, which could be a park here in Britain, and yet is so far away.



Au revoir, Christine - come back soon. And hello Jennie, from this corner of the world, and thank you for the video.
