Same here; I could fly to Adelaide tomorrow, cheaper than I could fly to Rotorua.

I do know that flying to Melbourne ( 1000km from here ) one way had a similar carbon footprint to driving to Tamworth & back ( something we do reasonably often. Been there a bit lately with my wife getting eye surgery ) that is only about 80 km away . . .
Flying to Melbourne return would have a FAR LESS carbon footprint per person than if we were to drive there & back . . .

Let me guess??? Your going to see Collingwood play
Haha
That would probably be the case with my first wife, thankfully this one is more interested in restaurants & shows
Being from northern NSW we are fairly unaware of AFL happenings. We were staying at Southbank. We went for a walk along the river to enjoy the drizzly rain & take in the sights. We settled in at a river side bar for a few drinkies & a late lunch before going to a show in the evening. Little did we realise we were walking distance from the MCG . . .
To make it worse - my wife made the naive mistake of wearing a black & white scarf , so she was worried about being sucked into the vortex of the “Pie’s” supporters
But nah - we had a great time drinking by the river & “people watching” for 3 or 4 hours, also enjoyed the rain & getting wet, before we escaped into a concert hall that evening

You had better start saving up- apparently wedding costs double every 7/8 years

Plenty of damsons down here in Kent, enough in the freezer for crumble all winter.
It is true though that North Staffs/ Cheshire has more than its fair share, this goes back to the fact that they were harvested to be sold into Stoke and Manchester as a dye for pottery and textiles.

I like them fresh off the tree but not keen on cooked in jams or pies etc. Don’t even like damson gin much.
I remember being in Tamworth. It was fall and colourful and beautiful. Probably have great green photos somewhere. Sad to see it now compared to my memory.Heading home.

It’s such a gorgeous town too, although the angle parking is weird.
I’m going to struggle to justify the carbon emissions from today’s journey.
Went for a 6 hour round trip to buy a stock ram.......yes 1.
Almost past @Cowabunga ’s front door.

That poor ram in the back of the pick up must have been travel sick with basically constant twists and bends,up and down hill.Welsh roads
