For everyone else – the radio interview Donald heard is here.

At around 2am I drowsily awoke to voices talking warmly and enthusiastically about olives, hills, pigs and chickens, the moon and a beautiful ever changing stream and I thought I was in a world I used to know in my youth, thank you.

I’ve only been living in Martinborough for about a year and a half, and I’m loving it. Sadly, I don’t have land, just your standard 1/4 acre, but a wonderful 1/4 acre!

Made me laugh until my eyes watered – love it! Its a bit like reading a story on a magical make believe place in a make believe town, except that its all real! Makes me proud that I too live in this sometimes strange, funny but awesome country (I too immigrated to NZ).

Wish I found your blog before we went to the Martinborough Fair on Saturday. Would have popped in to say ‘hi’, for a couple bottles of your olive oil and a belly rub for Lady Lucy!

I follow a number of blogs but none quite like yours though. I’m going to really look forward to reading your posts as of today!

I’m a Kiwi living in Austria and always look for good writing in a blog too – there are plenty of food porn ones and I like them too but good writing is what keeps me reading. Look forward to your posts!

HSwansson – Carterton, 06 378 7401
N&C Ennis – Levin, 06 362 6953
B&M Hogarth – Thames, 07 867 3222

Best of luck to you. They’re great birds. Although ours do have a tendency to get scaly leg mites. Never mind. The eggs are gorgeous!

See the post on scaly leg mites in our araucana here:
