Meet the adventurers

Granny T

Granny T lives in Auckland, New Zealand. She loves walks in the bush, days at the beach, art, travel, cooking for her grandkids, and a good cup of tea.

Never without her pink and blue silk scarf
Always packs a picnic in her backpack
Loves her grandkids most of all

Archie

A scruffy, hairy little Jack Russell with a very waggy tail. Archie is Granny T's best friend and the cheekiest dog in New Zealand.

Will chase anything: balls, flies, seagulls, hats
His red ball goes everywhere with him
Always finds the way home

"Off we go, Archie!"
