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.

The road home ...
You arrived in Mosgiel, via Saddle Hill and this motorway. I grew up on the plain below.
Hi Di. Just remember - at the mo it's raining and (like) about 4 degrees. The locals havent seen the sun for a while and the snow and hail arrive with a sickening monotony. I look at your photo's with a joy - because they remind me of something forgotten - summer WILL come once again :)
Mmm, expect less joy at this end, Mark. You getting summer means we're wintering here in the north.
Think Dunedin winter and you've got it although sometimes, if the Siberian door opens, it's so much colder than anything I've ever experienced. I need to find a way to fly between hemispheres at appropriate times, eh wot.
What a wonderful view, makes me curious to see the area you grew up in. Hope you can make it home soon :-).
ReplyDeleteIt's not bad, is it Inge. I should quietly confess that the climate there is similar to Antwerpen's ;)
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you're heading south ... I know some places and people.

ReplyDeleteHi Ascender :) I read The Green of Wyoming growing up down there in Mosgiel but I had to smile. It's such a long way from there to Wyoming.
