Me & Mrs Briasco!

Sorry guys, no pics from Lucy & Bomba's wedding.....would seem the focus was not on cameras but on socialising. Can't wait to see someone else's though, the bride and her lovely ladies looked absolutely fabulous to say the least. Hellena & Eli's Wedding party went off with the St Matts's girls rockin to Rage into the early hours of the morning, reminiscent of a certain 30th in Taupo!

River East exhibition opening

Another highlight of the summer was Sam's exhibition opening with Sam Melser, his mate out here from France. It was a great success and great wine & cheese was had by all. Some art was even sold.....Sam M is a painter and Sam Ludden threw some pots to complement his work and give them the opportunity to get together and dress up strangely!

The Rakau Rd crew came over for the exhibition and we went camping out at Potter Paul Melser's place....gatecrashing his 60th party and pulling out some dance moves you definitely won't see in Wellington! Arti you're lovely!

Lots of playing....a little work!

Hey everyone and a happy belated new year to you all. someone mentioned monthly installments on the blog but its not gonna happen, more like 3 monthly i reckon! its been a great summer, finally getting some good weather for work at WOP the last few weeks....and my first time on the river and out of the pool in a kayak! New Year at Bull Gully was rainy & wet like most of the country but there was stil lots of fun to be had......
