I live in Dunedin, only about 100,000 here and nearly a third are students, so we have quiet times and busy times the whole city notices. I'm lucky to have a rural spot right in town, a small hidden valley in the green belt

Dunedin and Hobart are both equal last stop before south pole- Antarctic expeditions leave from both. But here, we usually feel that proximity - not his year though. It's hot.

I love ketchup..
Can't stand tomatoes.....
I guess this is my "coming out" pic...
Maybe Gaj can "rotate" me...
I would probably delete the whole topic...

Hey Mike, ... There is no doubting it! You are a Highlander after all! All that Mel-Gibson stuff with tartan broad-swords and battle-axes is just Hollywood BS. The real highlanders fought with scythes and pitchforks!

Here's a shot of the Tommie Toe tomatoes that I grow every year ... one of the best tasting tomatoes in my opinion ... and infinitely better than the tasteless varieties sold in the supermarkets.
However, you don't like tomatoes ... maybe you'd prefer some of my blueberries ... here's a shot of my loaded blueberry bush ... nothing better than fresh blueberries straight off the bush ...
