WOW!!! So proud to live in such a beautiful country, and very blessed to live in Taranaki. This is huge for our small region...

Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2017 yearbook says, “From dairy farms to legendary surf breaks, the region’s natural assets have long been envied. But in recent years a powerful arts and cultural set has elbowed its way to the fore, sustaining New Plymouth’s notable Puke Ariki Museum and Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, and one of the world’s finest music festivals – WOMAD – held in pretty Pukekura Park. Now that New Plymouth has its own answer to the Guggenheim – the hard-won and community funded Len Lye Centre – the stage is set for Taranaki’s star to shine.”

I am fortunate enough to live along the famous Forgotten World Highway on State Highway 43, nestled in the most amazing countryside, but very remote. If you are ever visiting New Zealand and in my area, the jug is always hot.

We may be a small country but we are on the map!

Cheers
