Zurich - the best small city in the world!




One of the things I enjoy about living in Europe is that so often when you visit a city, you go home wanting to throw away half your wardrobe. This is a combination of having a fresh outlook, seeing fantastically dressed Europeans "happy in their skin", and the clothes that are on offer!

Cities that come to mind are Munich, Paris, Bologna and recently Zurich.

The cost of Kiwi lamb in the Med....

Just back from 10 days working in Mallorca - someone's gotta do it!

I was sent to the local butcher one day for 4 lamb racks...voila, frozen NZ lamb racks @32.95euro/kg. Circa NZ$60/kg. I explained to the owner that I used to be in the business back in NZ, she rightly pointed out that maybe I should still be in the buiness and supplying her direct!
