    Well if its one thing the Ozzies have got nailed to perfection and that’s to know when work time has finished and the real important stuff begins!
    Sadly us Kiwis are horrifyingly time poor and by the time we get around to having our Friday arvo beer its 9 pm Sunday night and then you have to get organised for bloody Monday morning’s work.

    Which reminds me when is Armish having a tasting session ?
