Thanks KK

Merry Christmas to you and all as well.

I might have to get down your way in the new year and find some yellow rivers.

Hi Ash
Yeah no chance of talking the wife into moving back now (wife and kids left in Feb). I stayed until August.
Another long wait for EQC to go over the house.... And to think I wanted to move to Nelson.... Instead we moved to a supposed dormant volcano...
It's not a moan, all in all we were VERY VERY lucky. This x-mas will be the first for many without loved ones a thought that truly saddens me and unfortunately no kind words will change that (I wish they could). It's getting hard to find the positives! BUT that's what makes the New Year so important!

Take care everyone!

Merry Christmas everyone! Was going to add a fun festive photo from Chch, but my "Merry Xmas" scrawled into fresh liquefaction just filled up with muddy water and became unreadable, and then when I spotted a potaloo covered in tinsel I'd forgotten my camera :P

Just moved house so was happy to see the new (well, to us anyway) house is riding out the ground surf without any issue! It's supposed to be me surfing, not the house!

Have a great day everyone! Looking forward to some gold missions soon... may the New Year be very yellow! ;)

Thank you all for contributing to the forums and making them a great source of information and a great place to meet like-minded souls.

Gav :)
