A happy-go-lucky English rambler dude goes to New Zealand for a year. Here he interfaces with some of those he left behind and details his nefarious activities. Or summat.

You may have guessed from the lack of excited posts about snowboarding, that sadly we didn't get snowed into Pas for another week. Although we did have to take a massive detour through Spain, so we got to see a bit more of the beautiful Pyrenees (Very NZ-esque), as well as some extremely Jean de Florette style villages when we finally made it back into France.
The bus journey began at 5am so it literally had quite a dreamy atmosphere to it, enhanced still further by listening to the wonderful new Charles Aznavour cd i bought in Andorra. The new Interpol and Beth Gibbons albums were very good too, but i thought Charles suited the trip slightly better.
Until i work out how to get the my photos off Dad's digital camera (Has anyone got a spare PS2 to serial lead?) here are a couple of pics taken by my Glaswegian snowboarding comrade Graham.

Woo!Woo!Woo! Snow = fun
And as you can see from my effortless stylishness, i have finally dispelled the myth that Red and Green don't go together. Hurrah!
