If you’ve ever wanted to leave everything behind for a year, throw caution to the wind and get on a plane with nothing but a suitcase and a one-way ticket to Europe, then you will love this episode.
After much (hardly any) planning and lots of cleaning, it is time for the Deacle family to leave New Zealand and head overseas for an adventure.
This husband and wife, and their two young adult kids, have rented their house for a year and are leaving New Zealand for twelve months so they can reconnect and experience family time.
With just a week to go before they depart, this is what life looks like.
Kia Kaha ❤️

This week, we are in Nelson, BC. And if that wasn’t exciting enough, we are bringing you this podcast episode from the slopes of Whitewater Ski Resort!
After a year of immense loss (Liz’s parents passing within six months of each other and saying goodbye to our beloved family dog), the Deacle family re-grouped and set off for a month in British Columbia, Canada, in search of some much-needed family time, happiness, love, conversation, and togetherness.
To make this possible, they are house-swapping.
They have traded their Skoda and lovely one-level countryside home in Taranaki, New Zealand, with a family in Nelson, BC, and they now have THEIR car and THEIR beautiful Canadian wooden home in the mountains for a month.
Did Canada deliver what Liz and Brian were looking for? Did Bri ever get to finish what he was saying?
Why did Liz go up on the chairlift on her own and cry?
And WHY aren’t husbands born with psychic powers??
PS: Listen to the end to find out! LOVE YOU GUYS!! HAPPY 2025!! 🎉🎉❤️🇨🇦 xx

So this is the BEST Island in Fiji?
BULA!! Today’s episode is brought to you ON LOCATION. We are IN Fiji. Actually there. With the plan trees and everything.
I’ve always wanted to say that. “On location”.
It reminds me of Judith Chalmers when she’d stand by a fishing boat somewhere in the Bahamas wearing a turquoise sarong. Flashing her polished dentures at the camera while we all watched through the telly in England. Drooling. Depressed. Wishing it was sunny and not dark at four o’clock.
If you’d like to watch this podcast on video, you can do that on Spotify.
Enjoy!

Liz and Brian and getting ready to go to a wedding in Fiji.
Of course, there are concerns. Just a few. What with those dancing men and crab-racing women? It’s all too much to think about…So Liz, thinks about her old pal, Mo. You know, Mo? The salt-of-the-earth mother-in-law. Mo, with no knickers…THAT Mo.
Join us as we plan a VERY special (and extra sociable) occasion!

Charleston, South Carolina, is gorgeous. It is one of the few cities we have visited as a couple, and been blown away by how quaint, pretty and very romantic it is. Surprisingly, in a relatively small city, there are many things to do.
Years back, we first visited Charleston with our two teenagers. We were travelling the world as a family, and Charleston was high on the list of places.
We had heard that this little city in South Carolina was one of the most beautiful destinations in the world, and we weren’t disappointed.
Whoever wrote that stat was spot on.
Charleston, South Carolina.
