Roadside Attractions

KINGSWOOD: One Year On
An Holden Kingswood HT stationwagon I know. I know. You and I know what kicked this venture off, don’t we? How hard could it be to write about four friends driving from Auckland to Wellington in a...

The Puppy
The Northland litter at rest. A few weeks back, The Goddess and I travelled north to select a future successor to The Dog. There was a litter of twelve puppies from which to choose, and we had first...

Whangarei
The Dog on her old bed on her new deck. Would you believe that I’ve moved to a town that I first visited* only several months earlier? It feels like The Goddess‘ Five Year plan pulled a sack over my...

Mod Cons
