Hello Blog, it has been far FAR too
long since we've last chatted. How have you all been? I am currently
on Stewart Island, waiting to see what the weather decides it wants
to be like today. So far, we've had a good drop of rain first thing
this morning, now it's windy and partly cloudy. Who knows what's in
store for late this afternoon. I spent a good long time on Banks
Peninsula, regarding which I have every intention of doing at least
one solid entry. I had many adventures there, walked to many
beautiful places, met some really awesome people, made some really
great friends, lost some-not-so-great-ones. Worked weekends, managed
a hostel, “vice-managed” another hostel, got conflicting
information from various immigration office representatives (don't
worry, I'm here legally, and shall remain so until the end of May)

Jinkies! First month on the Jury farm in Tikorangi, Taranaki.

Time just keeps slipping away from me lately and my current host has lots of different jobs that need doing and is a lot of fun to chat with that I just don't seem to get around to writing up my missing posts!
I arrived at Mac Snack world headquarters on the 8th of January, after spending some time with familiar faces over in Australia. It was simply lovely to spend Christmas with J-Bo and New Years with the ladies Lahey.
This is the first fully organic farm that I've stayed on, and it's a beaut! It's been in the family for generations (since it started to be settled by Europeans), and is the site of the first (legally) imported macadamia nut trees.

Blue dot is the farmhouse, their property is pretty much bordered west and south by the roads, and north and east by the trees. |
