New year, new decade

Hi everyone!

The full PJ crew are back in the saddle for 2010 after a well deserved break… We trust you managed to take time out to relax and celebrate with friends and family.

The small beach town of Ohope was my choice of retreat this year. As well as strolling the fairways of the country golf course and relaxing on the beach, I spent a little time reflecting on the decade some are calling the ‘noughties’.

10 years ago I arrived in New Zealand to explore my family roots (my Dad’s a Kiwi and my Mum’s American). How time flies – cliché I know – but I remember counting down to the millennium in Matamata. Not many people can say that!

Think about all the things you didn’t know then. I didn’t know…

- I would live in New Zealand for the next 10 years
- My soon-to-be wife, Natalie
- The All Blacks would be knocked out of two more World Cups
- I would be diagnosed with cancer… (in remission 7 years later)
- How to spell “haematology” the English way
- Nearly as many photographers and geeks as I do now.

Plus all sorts of stuff that most people wouldn’t find too interesting.

So, here’s to the next ten years…

Happy New Year and welcome back from Danny and everyone at Team PJ and Queensberry.
