Stalking Venus

With apologies to Peter, Paul and Mary, I’m a-leavin’ on a jet plane. Don’t know when I’ll be back again.
Yup, that’s right – This blog is about to become an Australian one. I’m heading into the final stretch of days that lead to my migration to that great big island south east of everywhere.

In today’s ever worsening environment, with global warming on the rise and natural resources being stretched to snapping point, we all need to be far more proactive in our quest to save our planet.
It is with this in mind that I suggest boycotting love.
