Seeing Yowie and I were going on about labour shortages inAus. and New
Zealand I just had to post this website.

I live in Hawke's Bay, a beautiful area of fruit trees, sun and sea.  
They are desperate for fruit pickers - hmmmmmmmmmm. Could be a way to
meet B & C & FSP er and me, of course.  Oh, and Lois and her team of
Burmese kittens :)

You live in Hawkes Bay????  This is one jealous Canadian.  Some great wines
coming out of that area...  Kim Crawford Merlot springs to mind.

Mathew,  the wineries are one of the big delights of living in Hawke's
Bay.   There are so many to choose from - Montana, Church Road, Selini,
Moana Park, to name but a few.   When we stayed in England on a house
exchange we visited the local store at a little place called
Titherley.   They soon adopted their New Zealand visitors - and, you
guessed it, insisted on buying in New Zealand wine.   We appreciated
that, but, in our innocence wanted to try French and English.   We soon
realised our mistake and were grateful for their efforts.

In a couple of weeks we are going down the South Island to Marlborough,
where they make some fabulous wines.   We intend to try them and I'll
toast you with a glass.

Bev:  I appreciate the toast... When in Marlborough DRINK SAUVIGNON
BLANC!!!!  And try a few of the emerging Merlots... NZ is stepping up BIG
with this grape.

Bev <bevdun@xtra.co.nz> had some very interesting things to say about
Working Holiday in N.Z. Anyone?:

Depending on the current census, Lois's bunch could be more accurately
described as a swarm, IMO. :-)
