Hey guys, its the usual greeting and apology from me. As you know, my waka hit the doldrums a while back and its been a long slow journey finding the puff to get going again. Partially due to economic blues and partially just Tiki-burnout (be careful; it can happen!). Taking a break at the moment, spent a nice 10 days in the sun at the top of the Sth Island & had a great Christmas with my family up there. My latest project at home is a kick-ass vegetable garden, freshly planted with over 15 different crops. ok 16 :wink:
.................
Anything you would like to tell us about this 16th and will you be bringing any to the local market?? :) :) :)
..............
Not in any immediate hurry to resume work but feel confident that 2009 will bring fresh perspectives and enthusiasm.
Thanks to all of you who look and comment on my work; it really is appreciated. My time really is stretched with my growing family and household projects on top of carvng & my biggest regret is not being able to give enough time here - I apologize if my posts are few and far between.
