There are quite a few animations on some of the pages so please be a little patient while they load to get the overall effect I'm trying to achieve. It'll still take me a while as I'm learning all the time.
You may get a script error come up a couple of times. I'll try to find out why it's doing it, but until then, just click yes for now. Thanks.
You are now entering....
Here you can find out about my family and me, the farm where we live
(in the Waikato region of New Zealand) and the business's we run.
Richard and I met in Auckland where we both lived. We decided awhile later to try our hands at farming (Pic of the farm) and have now been dairy-farming (Reg: Gold Star Holstein Friesians) for the last 17 years, while raising our family in the wonderful fertile region of the Waikato in New Zealand. We milk 260 cows. Calving starts in mid July and we rear approx 50 calves each year as future replacements for the herd.
We both have a love for progressive music. We were having trouble finding music we loved in NZ and were having to order for ourselves and friends from overseas so in March '96 we also started Cranium Music, a mail-order business specialising in progressive, psychedelic, space and krautrock, experimental, ambient and electronic music genres. We used to have a two hour radio show every Saturday night at the local university, but it was 'canned'. We're still trying to get something similar happening again. We won't give up! :)
Latest update (Dec 5th 98) is that we have now sold the cows, moved off the farm and have bought a house & shop (combined) where we sell prog music. Yes! A physical presence! {smiles} A first for New Zealand as we only cater to the genres listed above. I'll try to keep this a little more updated but I'm doing an animations site (totally addictive stuff) and I struggle to get back here. (I'm still doing this all by hand... well.. and {notepad} so it takes me quite a while).
