Lana Del Rey

My favourite song at the moment, although it makes me feel a little mournful.  Is that a good thing?

P is for Poi E

Poi E is sung by the Patea Maori Club, a very classic Kiwi song with great footage of New Zealand fashion in 1982!

Aussies vs Kiwis....again...

Another example of how the Kiwis like to have a go at the Aussies.  All in good fun!

Skiing in slo' mo'

This was taken a few weeks ago when on a ski trip to Queenstown.  I appear half way through wearing a bright blue jacket.  It felt like I was flying down the slope, kicking up powder and blinding the skiers behind me, with danger and adventure the names carved on my skis.  The reality is a casual stroll in the park as children a fraction my size zip past me as a mere blur out of the corner of my eyes.... 

Here is a short promotional video about the city of Hamilton.

Good Morning Sunshine

Here are the cows getting a morning feed in front of our house. Saves Phil from doing the mowing. Phil is loitering around on the verandah.

Misty morning on the farm.

Our cows!

Following on to my previos post taking the piss out of New Zealand, here is an add with a similar angle about Australia.

"Where the bloody hell are ya?"

For any Aussies who remeber the "Where the bloody hell are ya?" Australian Tourism campaign, with Lara Bingle, here is the New Zealand version. No offence to anyone, just a giggle.

Me? Snowboard??

Here I am, roaring down the slopes of Mt Ruapehu. The person that falls over in about half way through, is not me. I am the one zooming past in the orange jacket. Anyone else impressed? Or just me....?
