About Us
This is Trish, Dave and Christina Habberjam’s blog. We post about our lives to keep in touch across the miles. Sometimes we post daily, sometimes we post monthly. But we always come back at some point. Perhaps if you leave comments at the end of our entries, we’ll be enticed to write more often?
Don’t be afraid to get in touch with us, either. We love email and we’ve met some New Zealand Habberjams through this website already. We’d love to meet others (or Ormerods, for that matter, as my mother was one before marriage, and still is by blood).
However you decide to participate, we welcome you to our website and hope you enjoy our smorgasboard of writing and photos.
