Thanks for visiting! On the 4th January 2011, Sue and Rick will be setting off on a grown-up gap year to circumnavigate the globe in search of fantastic food. In this blog we aim to give you a taster of our top tastebud moments... and dietary disasters. We hope this blog inspires you to explore the foods of the world too.

Antarctica

We’ve just spent a fascinating day visiting the International Antarctic Centre just outside Christchurch. We’ve done everything from riding a perilous journey in a Hagglund (arctic ATV);  surviving an Antarctic storm with windchill factor taking us down to -18; fed Little Blue penguins; been drenched by special effects in a 4D film experience of Antarctica, and been stuffed full of interesting trivia, which should hold us in good stead for the Antarctic version of Triv/Purse.  Rick also played in the dressing up box trying on genuine smelly old gear! No comment.

    Finally caught on your adventures over the few weeks... what a lot you have been up to! Very jealous of all the sunshine having just spent a very rainy weekend in North Wales (printing our wedding invites).
    Tom has been enjoying your delicious spiced apple chutney in sandwiches at work. Pleased to see you have been eating some equally delicious food, especially the crab pizza?!
    Look forward to reading more of your adventures in your new van.
    Much love
