For those of you that haven’t seen the article today here is the link on the stuff website: http://www.stuff.co.nz/4513458a11.html He has starred in the Dominion Post and the Christchurch Press as well. Great articles, I am very impressed with how they have been written – just not too impressed about how big my nose looks! […]
What a beautiful day it is on the sunny Kapiti Coast today, you could almost be forgiven for thinking it was summer (apart from the fact it is freezing), lets hope for good weather like this for the rugby match on Saturday. Liam had a good day at school yesterday, has just slotted back in no […]

Although I would desperately love to go home to await any results, I don’t think that would actually be […]
