I had a wonderful time travelling for five years (Sept 2009 to Oct 2014) and I met so many wonderful bookcrossers. If you are ever in New Zealand there is a bed available for you at my house in Christchurch. Thank you for the memories.


My image is of the Timeball in my beloved Lyttelton which was badly damaged in the earthquake of February 22nd. Lyttelton will rebuild as the people of Lyttelton are strong.



I am enjoying visiting telephone box libraries here in the UK and have started mapping the ones I have visited.
