We are currently caravan shopping for our “Outside the City” project road trip. Last week, we traded our car for a large SUV and this week we are purchasing the caravan to justify the oversized vehicle. We feel like amateurs to the game being true camping folk up until now. Whatever we get, it will probably be in the 30-40yr old age bracket as we have discovered caravans in NZ are hard to pick up for a bargain. Last week a friend told me how easy it is to wallpaper and relay lino in caravans. I am now so over the berth size and really concentrating on black and gold or blue and yellow floral for the walls.

Today I spent a short period on the other side of the camera and I didn’t like it one bit. We (my husband Matt, housemate Dan, and son Dylan and I) are being featured in Sunday Magazine’s At home shoot. I set up a self-portrait scenario and then felt completely overwhelmed and sat there like a startled rabbit. From this I have learnt a good lesson; I have little or no experience of practicing what I preach.

And finally, I shot Audio Empire over the weekend … a fine band of young men.
