Of course it is a prerequisite to be scottish to live in Dunedin - och aye! However, having been born on the wrong side of Hadrian's wall in England I reckon I'm close enough to being scottish! Haven't seen too many males wearing kilts here, although there is a Brass Monkey motorcycle rally held once a year if you're talking about freezing your nether parts! And I can assure you that there is a lot of imbibing spirits to keep the cold away!
Shark nets are still in place around the beaches. And yes, I have been up north, all my husband's family live in the central North Island - in fact have just come back from there last monday from a family celebration.
Whereabouts are you hailing from?
A cheerful och aye the noo from warm and sunny Dunedin!
