Welcome to JC & Paddington 2026

 Why are we celebrating 2026?

Well a few milestones have been reached over the last  9 months. In August 2025 we reached our 40th year in New Zealand, then in November Colin hit 70 and in February 2026 we had our 50th wedding anniversary. So we thought it appropriate to celebrate them all together with a special holiday. We are so glad you're here to share our journey, as we explore and travel with Paddington making more memories. 

This blog is our way of staying connected with you all especially Paddington's followers, no matter where our travels take us. Expect to find everything from everyday happenings to exciting events and adventure's. Our trip officially kicks off in July 29 2026. Think of this as your front-row seat to our adventure, filled with laughter, discoveries, and maybe a few challenges along the way!

This is where we'll be posting all our updates, stories, and photos to keep everyone in the loop as we embark on our big adventure.

Memories in the making

A picture tells a thousand words, and we will have plenty of stories to share. Take a look at some of Paddington's previous photo's in the Photo Gallery
