Kia-Ora!

Im Brian from the land of the Long White Cloud ~ New Zealand ~ Home of the All Blacks, Pinapple Lumps and of Course Middle Earth (My Big Back Yard!)

Im a 3rd generation Kwi bloke, coming from the Southern most town of Invercargill.

Ive grown up both in city and on the family farm about and hrs drive from Invercargill. I have a brother (who now runs the farm) a lovey Partner Caroline (aka - The Mrs) and two crazy kids aged 4 and 6.

Im into alot of things, and have just recently gotten into the whole blogging/crypto scene. My background is in Design, how ever im over qualifyed for my job... (I have a BSc in Microbiology & Genetics, as well as a PGDip in BioEthics, but thats a story for another time...) and currenly a Draftsman for a small Engineering workshop in sleepy Winton.

Im going to be Blogging (a good yarn) about life in New Zealand, Family, News and My Thoughts (It could be a bumpy ride), so ask you (nicely of course) to come join me on this intersting trip...

P.S - If you want me to cover any thing specific (from a Kiwis perspective) leave me a comment.

Cheers!
