. It’s hard to avoid if you’re living in New Zealand. You should have seen the chaos in the city last Friday night on the Opening of the Rugby World Cup. It was incredible! I promise that’s the last of the Rugby talk. You might have noticed I’ve changed things up around here – I felt that my blog’s layout was in dire need of a refresher. I hope that you like it!
