I had such a pleasant time at Judith's home. Although I suppose technically it's a suburban neighborhood, it's just far enough from Kerikeri that that blocks are large, the nights are quiet, and you feel like you're out in the country.
I really enjoyed getting to know Judith, an immigrant from the UK. She has interesting perspectives on all sorts of thing.
Oh, if you love a proper English breakfast to start the day, you are definitely in for a treat! Also, I had to do some remote work from laptop, and sitting outside on her grape trellis shaded patio was just about the best "office" one can imagine.
Communications and everything were very smooth!
