Man it has been a long time coming the continuation of keep our webpage up to date but here goes. We arrived down south a couple of months ago mainly to watch young Russel Edge play his Southland Under 15 Rep football in Timaru and then he played in the Southland Under 13 Rep football  tournament in Dunedin.

With a temperature of about 30 degrees its a big change from the deep south of NZ at this time of the year. Envy these guys and their adventurous demeanor and both Jude and I are probably as excited as they are. Looking forward to keeping up on their adventures with their own posts on this site over the next two years. Their First Pics Of VancouverRead More →

The food was very very nice and reasonably priced… (nice choice Sophie & Finn). Lots of “Remember when” moments as Tom and Sophie reminisced on the “ole” days gave us all some goodRead More →

I have to say we had a really great time as Jude came out on top in the first game. The second wasRead More →
