Just found out that Peter Gabriel is touring with a 25th annaversary SO tour and is playing the HOP FARM festival. I checked out their website and just look at the people playing

I so miss festivals, Glastonbury, Green Man, Hop Farm,

Anyone with a spare few grand 'cos I SOOOOOOOOO want to go and I'm not.

Right now you can shove NZ where the sun don't shine

What do I miss coz of living & earning in NZ?

Being able to travel offshore to anywhere at all, even the Isle of Wight. Savings all go to funding Mr BEVS trip back to see my Smother-outlaw. Before that both the Smother and my wonderful, rascal of a Dad. RIP.
The Stourpaine Steam Rally. It's really very fab
The Square and Compass + a quality pasty & cider/beer after a long coast walk
Affordable concerts & theatre.
Trips to London. I love London.
Trips to anywhere with summat different to experience& view.
Canoeing on the Avon over the weirs - strange but true.
Seeing my friends. I miss them.
B&Q - Get what you need or want . No blummin' bloke job-worth asking you if you - the female - know what you are a-doing of .


My beach . It's in my heart and soul forever & always. It sings to me. I yearn for it. It will always be part of me - and me, part of it. I love it.

I had that horrible and uncomfortable sense in Bunnings a few weeks back, I felt so out of place and that I really didn't ought to be in there.

Bunnings was ok with me. I prefer Mitre 10. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff.

What do I really miss in nz ? Having a job......oh those were the days....
