Postcard Travels with Roland Poland - Week 18 New Zealand

Having apologised to Axel Skislope for his heavy handed use of salt, Roland Poland is reunited with Xui.  Axel was delighted to wave goodbye to our canine warrior who had more than doubled his salt bill in one week!  They fly immediately to New Zealand where Xui is a VIP guest on The Lord of the Rings Tour.
He writes to his half-brother Malcom,
Hi Malcolm,
Found our ideal retirement home.  It is a Hobbit House
where everything is just the right size.
And guess what? -
There is a convenient tree right by the front door.  Does
life get any better than that!

Here is the page I made in his travel book
My postcard uses a stamp from Lavinia Stamps and is coloured with Stampin' Up markers.  The travel book uses images of Fijordland National Park, a portrait of Maori Hinepare and a lovely set of stamps of dogs and the alphabet from NZ Postal Service.
Thank you for visiting and do please leave a comment. I recommend that you  visit the other travellers in Darcy's Postcard Challenge (see link in sidebar), you will be amazed at the wonderful artwork.
