portfolio, blog and the occasional Nordic musing
I recently went to The South Island in New Zealand, and drank many, many fine beers (and wines) whilst I was down there. My favourite brand was Monteiths, a West Coast brewery that now produces a lovely range of beers to suit everyone’s tastes. My favourites were the Pilsner and the Golden. Sweet as.
Just a quick note to say I have painstakingly assembled my very favourite shots from both New Zealand and Australia (some London shots too). I look at these and do wonder if I left too soon

London, that’s where!
That’s it folks! I’m back safe and sound, got some crazy jetlag after a marathon 24 hour journey back to London. It was very odd getting on the tube at Heathrow, the underground map looked simpler than it had before.
It’s been a great 8 months and I can’t quite process being back yet, but I am glad about both going away and coming back- it’s been a necessary trip away from it all, but now I’m glad to be back to it all!
I declare this blog closed for now 
Currently at SIngapore airport for re-fuel, experienced the delights of the airports cactus garden, and the dubious bonus of Cliff Richard songs playing in the background..man, this is a long mission.
Thanks for reading, this is probably about it for now!
Finally, I got to see my first Koala bear, and they really are cute creatures. And very chilled out.
