I live in Florida, where there is no such thing as Autumn. I'm jealous!!

New Zealand is beautiful in Autumn, the weather is mild and the trees slowly turn golds, reds and yellows...BUT we are not a shadow on Canada so I've heard. The paths are covered in crisp dropped leaves and they whoosh when you walk through them... the nights come sooner but the fire is lit, the wine is ready and there's always someone or a good book to cuddle up to

That's really pretty

That is an awesome picture Debz!
I would like to visit there at some point in my life.

Where? NZ or Canada? I think this is a Canadian photo

New Zealand. I live in Michigan, and Canada is my neighbor. Been there, done that.

It's a beautiful and realitively safe place, use to be safer but we have a problem with P and the Evening News always tells the worst. We had an earthquake lastnight further up the North Island, it was a 6.5 but we all live close to the ground and so it wasn't particulary rough, 4 or 5 shops were... resorted shall we call it, but NZers don't freak much on them, they're better than getting tornados, cyclones, Nuclear anything, and we have 1 native spider that I've only ever seen once that if it bites a very old infirm person or a tiny baby might kill them. Other than that no snakes, bears, or dangerous animals or insects. Means a great place to camp, and enjoy the outdoorsy stuff and John says we make a decent beer.

NO SNAKES???

Now I know I need to visit.

Only thing that will kill ya in NZ is the tourist that hire campervans and try to drive them on the wrong side of the road...We drive on the LEFT side of the road, SO PLEASE PRACTISE IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY DRIVING ON THE LEFT. So that when you arrive, though you may have scared the shite out of your fellow Americans and self, we will still all survive your holiday!Love to have you come and visit, and I believe the trouser snake has got to be deadlier than the rattlesnake any day

???????????? Are you for real???? NO SNAKES ?? AT ALL?? Move over Debz I'm moving in !! At least till I can get my own house PLEASE?!?!?!?
I can't imagine life without snakes.. Oh how wonderful that would be!! I'd never wear shoes again.... Oh God how I wish I could move to a place with no snakes !!!

Opps
forgot the picture

this is going to be my desk top pic for a while ...well i am sick of a pair of tits staring at me.
not them tits debz...........

The last 2 years I have spent my holidays in Queen Charlotte Sounds fishing. The fishing is great and the clothing is optional. My friend owns 160 acres of Arapawa Island and you can only get there by boat. I found a photo of thier home on the net tonight. have a look, green house, I stay in 1 of the 2 flats on the ground floor.

Oh? what seasons does Florida have?

Mostly hot, sometimes chilly. That's about it.

Sorry Brian, fantastic how little boys can fly over leaves, fly after a ball, fly into the ocean...But can never fly into the shower. I find it only happens with kicking and screaming and thats just me, they are worse

They will get older and want to take showers several times a day. that will be just after they start hitting puberty. Believe I have 2 at that age.

My baby boy is 27 and I'm still traumatised from his pubesent dramas, hairy legs...agh, smelly armpits...agh, girlfriends...argh, cars...argh....

...Sticky Shower Drain?

OMG !! You just did not go there,did you??

OMG....I guess I did.

My Bad!!!
