WOMAD & the Coromandal

Sam & I headed off on a bit of a road trip before I headed off to the South Is to start work. It was a fantastic trip, starting off with an epic weekend at WOMAD with Peps & Quinn (Peps is Sams sista), torrential rain and magic cats. Thanks for a wonderful present Peta! After a night drying out in Rotovegas and visiting galleries, we headed to the Coromandal to catch up & for me, meet, some of Sams good friends up that way and enjoy the stunning weather that had finally come our way. To finish it all off we spend a wonderful couple of days up at Driving Creek Railway & Pottery created by legendary potter Barry Brickall and came away feeling utterly inspired to go away and make our markson the world! pics attached.......

Movin South....

Kia ora folks,

Just a quick note to say that I've moved down to Christchurch to start another season with Full On, the outdoors based personal development programme I worked on in Sydney last year. Check it out at fullon.co.nz if you're interested. Living with a friend from last year, Fiona, in Linwood and biking down to the Full On office each day on Ferry Rd (for those of you that know CHCH!). Its going great, tho i am of course missing the lovely Sam somewhat. Sam, myself and a small crew of friends celebrated my 30th in style on a fantastic sea kayaking trip around the sounds at Easter.....pics to come.

Am in Chch for 6 weeks, head to Syd again in early May for 3 months, then back to CHCH for another 6 weeks of post-season goodies then HOME to the Wai.

Will endevour to keep in touch (I hope!)
