Well, I thought it was about time I wrote my first blog - I've been meaning to do it for a while now, but never seem to get the time.

 

I've spent the last couple of months working for Wither Hills - a winery here in Marlborough. A good way to earn money, especially when you live at home and only pay $50 a week board! The work has been difficult, and hard on the body, but I've met some really great people, from all walks of life. Working in a vineyard in Marlborough also allows you to meet people from all over the world. In the past two months I've worked with people from Germany, France, Japan, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Zimbabwe, Denmark, Australia, USA, Canada, South Africa and about a million from the UK (they seem to be everywhere).

 

At the moment we're on the countdown to Christmas and New Years! Can't wait for New Years, me and a couple of mates are heading down to Queenstown to see Sri Lanka take on the mighty Black Caps in a one-dayer. Should be maddness. Vercs has given us a list of objectives (kind of like a treasure hunt) which I cannot share with you on a public forum, but I'll post the photos, and let them do the talking!

 

Catch you later and Merry Christmas!
