Ok Folks, We're Back In Business

Hi readers -

Yes, we're still alive, and doing quite well actually. Since we last updated you, we're now living in Blenheim, New Zealand. That's a small city at the northern tip of the south island and home to some of the world's best Sauvignon Blanc.

For those of you interested, you can view our new address on Google Maps by clicking here. Our new place is a FURNISHED house (ooh, pots, pans, and a mattress with springs) owned by a school teacher in Blenheim. We're renting a room from him.

On Monday, we'll be starting work at Nobilo's Drylands Winery as cellar hands. So sorry, but we can't provide any more details just yet because we have no clue at to what cellar hands do. All we do know is this:
-We're to report to the winery at 8am sharp.
-We're to wear clothing and shoes that can get wet and dirty.
-We need our paperwork to show that we can legally work and get paid in New Zealand.
-We'll be sized for protective clothing and boots.


The weather here in Blenheim is absolutely gorgeous, with cool breezes and hot sun almost every day. The city is located between two mountain ranges that help channel warm sea breezes off the South Pacific across the plains. It's conducive to growing absolutely everything - apples, cherries, citrus, olives, and of course grapes.

More reports on work to follow.

Cheers,
Steebe
