Abandoned..

Dearest Blog,

You know I love you, but I have been pre-occupied with my traveling and have abandoned you. Now, things have changed and i’m on my way back to NZ  after an awesome 4 months in Europe. Never fear, you will get serious attention soon as there will be lots to write about with the cool things coming up that I am involved in..

Ok, that’s it for now.. Lots of love, RIA
