I left New Zealand mid-2003, bound for Istanbul and a new lif. After two years, a Belgian guy lured me into his world, deep in the heart of Europe. For a long time I was an in-process immigrant. One day we married. These days it's about photography, a little red wine and wandering ... and so the journey goes.

Interesting media spin ...
This was the World War One commemoration I attended on Wednesday ... interesting story, one that falls into the realm of fiction in some places.
The story is so incorrect as to be stunning.

There were a few details, the biggest being the fact that the local people didn't pay for the stone. It was paid for by the Italian Sciascia's.
We were in Mesen but wandered all over the place, around Ieper and Zonnebeke too :)
