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.

L&P - a drink the rest of the world probably doesn't know anything about
Thanks Mark ... and Mum had a key. Midnight swims were the best.
One summer Dad and I did the Chlorine "thing" for the school caretaker when he was on holday. I still remember the smell today. Hmmmmmm...tasty chlorine.... :)

Lol, was it Ernie Smith, who named his daughter Diane, in honour of me, or Mr Stanton, or someone I don't remember?
Do you think those chlorine o.d's harmed us? I was a competitive swimmer later, over at the Taieri Baths ... sigh.
Twas Ernie Smith, if memory serves.
I remember the stinging eyes, but mostly how cold the water was, especially on the warmest summer days :)
I adored Ernie :)
I went on to become a competitive swimmer for a while there, the Taieri Baths were so much colder ...
I've been having Green Street Intermediate swimmingpool flashbacks today!!! I hold you entirely responsible for this state of affairs.
