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.

You know those days when you pick up the phone and there's a voice that you think you recognise ...
It was v-grrrl, sounding all familiar and family-like, to the point where I thought she was a fellow kiwi calling.
I'm glad you both got in touch: there's a lot of 'added value' in a voice.
I'm not sure if any of you use skype, allowing that call to last forever.
I can handle most English accents (kiwi is very cute) although on St Patrick's Day I had no idea what the Irish were talking about (but the issue there was all the Guinness, not the Irish accent :-)
I have skype, love skype but that V doesn't have it ... what shall we do with her, eh?
I must say, you're very discerning about English accents ;) writes the laughing kiwi.
Imagine an Irish accent speaking fluent Nederlands!? I was so confused but the barmaid at the Peace Village on Flanders Fields is a Irish girl with a Flemish partner. She's superb but confusing because, to me, the transition from Irish English to Flemish Nederlands ...
that's nice, how's the best V blogger around doing?
ReplyDeleteShe sounded good, Van :) She's the best Girl V blogger around and you're the best Boy V blogger, silly billy!!
ReplyDeleteLoved your photographs today, just by the way.
Working on my kiwi accent...and loved hearing yours.
ReplyDeleteXO
