Nothing to do with Tim or the house but for the first half of 2018 I would encourage anyone to check the state of roadworks following the earthquake where an enormous rebuilding is coming to a close. The road closed at 7.30pm and a delayed flight meant we only just got through. Well worth the effort, just check the state of roadworks, which are an impressive sight in themselves ##### Michael W.
