I like the sound of that, Kiwi - is that the offical 'tag-line'?

I have always had a yearing to visit both New Zealand and Australia, but I think I would prefer NZ - especially from talking to people who have been there, and natives that have stayed in my village (massive drinkers too...sheesh lol - but wild nights and much good times!).

Aye, but a man cannae do nought but dream lol

Nice place you have too, Kiwi - it looks very tranquil.
There is a place near where I live, called 'Deer's Leap'. It is the highest point on the Mendip Hills, and the views are spectacular. You can watch weather fronts moving in from the sea, dragging their mist and rain like a curtain across the valley below. It is my contemplation glade.

See, for all our intelligence and power, in the face of Nature, we are humbled.
And she'll be here long after us mere mortals have vanished.
