It is still Christmas time here in Mayberry and it’s certainly a busy time for us here at TCNW HQ. As such, we’re going to have a “replay” episode this week where we revisit an episode called “A Condition of the Heart” originally published on March 8, 2022. I hope you enjoy it and it helps bring us that wonderful Christmas spirit throughout the week.

I thought it was a good one because we hear from Elinor Donahue’s son, Peter, toward the end of the episode talking about his mom and we heard from her last week.

God bless you and I hope you have a very merry Christmas. Below is the original shownotes for the episode. –Allan

I was moving things around in the Two Chairs No Waiting Archives and ran across a copy of “The Mayberry Confidential” from September 28,1995. You might be asking, “What is ‘The Mayberry Confidential?’ and I would say it is the “Official News of Mayberry Days” and is published each year as a guide to the events held during Mayberry Days in Andy’s hometown of Mt. Airy, NC.

This issue has a wonderful story written by guest columnist Jim Clark called “A Condition of the Heart.” I believe the feelings expressed by Jim fit well with comments made in previous episodes about Mayberry being a “state of mind.” Jim’s thoughts may be an even betty way to express what Mayberry means to us and I know you’ll enjoy hearing them.

We have several voice messages to share with you so stick around until the end of the show. You won’t want to miss our final call that we hear after this week’s installment of “Returning to Mayberry” by SpiritWalker called, “Rickles to Freckles.”

We're back. After six months of complete freedom; swanning around Europe and Asia doing exactly as we please, we are back home to New Zealand. And boy did we land with a bump.

In this week's show, we wanted to share the realities of long-term travel. Give you a glimpse into the nitty gritty truths of what returning home to normal life after being on the road for six months looks and feels like.

This show is dedicated to our beautiful girl Pandora. The best cat a family could ever ask for. RIP sweet girl.

Total Cost to Travel Europe & Asia For 6 Months

We talk about this briefly on the show but I wanted you to know the exact cost of our 6 month trip.

Our total cost for the six months trip came in at $33,000 NZD. That's an average of $176 NZD a day (excluding flight). This included, accommodation, food, petrol and entertainment.

This is $20,000 USD and £17,000. 

I think that you'll agree that this is pretty incredible. 

We were able to make massive savings by housesitting. When we evaluated our costs we discovered that housesitting (in the UK and Europe) saved us approximately $16,000 USD.

To hear more about how we saved this money by housesitting ( and how you can too!) check out this podcast:
