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?
ReplyDeleteDo 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.
ReplyDeleteI remember the stinging eyes, but mostly how cold the water was, especially on the warmest summer days :)
I adored Ernie :)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
