Life on the road with Stella and Paul Richards
Stella and Paul Richards locked up their New Plymouth home three years and never looked back. Since then, they've travelled the length and breadth of New Zealand year-round. Their cat, Maggie, is along for the ride. The couple - in their 50s and 60s - initially planned to pick up work en route. However, a case of Covid on their first day on the road resulted in the development of Long Covid for Paul. The couple join Anna from the caravan at Lake Whakamaru, on the mighty Waikato River.
