31 Dec

We live in circles. All our lives in cycle; Am to pm, Monday to Friday, January to December, year after year. Some of us consciously, most of us unconsciously.

It’s been an ebb and flow kinda year, fabulous none the less.

Most memorable meal: A pork shoulder roast with Yorkshire pudding and all the trimmings at Pig & the Butcher, London. Although the buffalo wings at Cassette 9, Auckland, was pretty A-mazing!!
