See you in 6 months!!!

[venom500]

Hi all,just a quickee to let you all know that the Wife can,t and hasn,t since almost day one been able to "cut it " so plans will be put into place to come back to the U.K in about 6 months.
Seriously pissed about this but thats the way life goes err!
This has been on the cards since about 8 weeks into our new life (Joke!!) . So as much as I love my Viper mates I,ll be very pissed to be back.
Oh, where are we going?.....Wales!....please don,t ask why!......cost I don,t give a dam!
(At this point I don,t want to comment anymore on this matter but felt you guys and girls should know what going on in N.Z.)Shit Happens!

Where in Wales?

[Viper]

sorry to hear its not worked out but at least you gave it a try and did something most of us only talk about

5 months and 30 thirty days to a Venom v Skunk shootout sweet...

On the bright side them heavily used boots with no laces will still come in handy in Wales

[joelism]

Oh no, he's coming back













Welcome back, I always knew you would It'll be good to have my old sparring mate back in the country, and even closer to my back doorstep too

[GravelBen]

so any chance of blagging a ride in the venom before you leave?

no worries if its a no but figured I may as well ask as I'm in Dunedin as well.

Have come to terms with everything now , quite happy to come back sometime in the future.Not sure of the exact spot or time yet but were keep you informed. Leaving the U.K was the ONLY way of making a break from a business gone mad and tax/vat bills gone even madder.I,ve had over a year off from work now and have ben able to mountain bike in the hills/mountains most days for 3/4 hours so its been a great way to unwind,have a fantastic break from work after 26 years and will come back fitter than I have ever been.Also being away from the U.K and living else where makes you realise that the grass isn,t always greener and nowhere is perfect.It also makes you more aware of what a great place the U.K is to live even if there are many things that pee you off,I think when we come back I will have a better respect of where my roots are and how important they are to me,I also have a better view of life and this time I won,t fall into the money making mistake.Getting the balance right and not allowing the stress caused by work pressures and some of life,s pointless goals to take away the reality of what "should" be the most important things in my life,(ie, spending good quality time with my Wife and Kids). My time away has cleansed me of most of the crud that would have seen the stress and pressures I had built around me put me in an early grave.Life,s great,I love it and I hope and pray that I never forget the lessons learn,t by taking time out.....Gotta go....my Mountain Bike awaits!.....Can,t wait to catch up with you all!.....even John .H.
