About 18 months before I can escape Southland I think Mark, depends on how long it takes my son to qualify from SIT. If I leave sooner he would probably jack it in and follow. Southland is a beautiful part of the world but boy oh! boy the weather :facepalm: Drove home from Queenstown today through bitter cold gale force winds, snow storm, torrential rain, hailstones and even managed to see the fireball in the sky fleetingly while struggling with a heatwave that reached a dizzy 7 degrees while you were probably struggling to cope with 20 degrees :an!gry :sick: :slfg: A piping hot cup of tea in the really was appreciated.
