I've come back to New Zealand, after 8 years away, clear on some of the things I need to see, do, and taste however there are other things ... things that have startled me as they have turned my head, again and again and again.
I've fallen for fern fronds in a fairly major way. The hotel manager here in Fox Glacier just discovered me out in the front garden and introduced me to the hotel's private garden.
It was grand out there ...
