Hi All :cool

Hope everyone is doing well...apologies for being so "quiet" of late..."flat out" here as they say (busy).

Thought I'd put in a shameless plug for my latest article about living in New Zealand in Escape Artist Magazine...

http://www.escapeartist.com/efam/67/Life_In_New_Zealand.html

At the bottom of the article you also find links to the previous half-dozen others I wrote over the past few months. Hope you enjoy...and hang in there if you're on the journey, it will be worth it! :nice1

Rich,

Just reading your article, I haven't seen them before and it is so far very entertaining! :clap :clap :clap Just one little "mistake" I thought I'd let you know about, Cadbury in fact originates in Birmingham, England. See This Link (http://www.cadbury.co.uk/EN/CTB2003/about_chocolate/history_cadbury/) for more information. :nice1

Right, I'll carry on reading now!

Mark. :P

Thumbs up for your latest 'tome', very interesting and informative.

Phew ..... have to echo Mark's info on the Cadbury's chocolate thingy though, especially as yor wife is a dark chocolate lover.

Cadbury's 'Bourneville' is thier 'famous' dark chocolate. Bourneville is the area of Birmingham where the Cadbury family started their chocolate factory ..... which is still up and running today (of course).

Also (and this is where I put on my flack jacket) ..... NZ Cadbury's chocolate is NOTHING like the UK Cadbury's chocolate. PB and I have even amused ourselves on several occasions by holding NZ/UK chocolate spotting competitions for our mates (sad I know)...... 2 lots of chocolate - blindfolded contestants .......... Kiwis and Poms alike can always tell the difference ..... which they prefer is not for me to comment on.

Maybe the fact that we're taking masses of Birmingham chocolate with us is abit of a clue.

Ooops there I go again ..... digressing.

Keep the articles coming, they're very good.
