Happy New Year

Ya Ba's
I'm still alive - well just after a rather riotous new year down in Wanaka, had a friend Al over from scotland for a few weeks so had a whistle stop tour of the south island - down and up the west coast - mucho vino in malbourgh and i'm cruising around the wonderful Banks Peninsula for a week or two (currently in the very french orientated Akaroa). This area reminds me very much of some area of the west coast of Sotland with little gems of beachs and bays tucked away down unsealed swines of roads - so bad that no-one but me seems to bother visiting them - bonus.
I'll be here until the 1st of feb (probably)

cheers
