While we’re expecting to settle in the Masterton area it would be foolish of us not to check out all that New Zealand has to offer. So for the last two weeks we’ve been touring the South Island and generally having a bit of a break. If anyone else does this, allow 4 weeks!

We’ve learned a bit about strip grazing, chicken breeding, polled Wiltshire sheep, growing cider apples and making schnaps with honey. Still not real farmers but working on it. The only things we seem to produce in any quantity in our home hydroponics are watercress and capsicums, oh and red basil. That has a much longer outdoor season than traditional green basil.
