Everyone needs a hobby...

To be honest, I've lusted after a 'lifestyle block' ever since a couple of friends of mine bought such a property out in Kumeu.
I spent many a subsequent weekend at "The Farm Gym" helping John transform it from an alpaca or deer farmlet into something more suitable for grazing and working with the horses that his girlfriend Karen had grown up with. It was quiet, away from noisy neighbors, and they had enough space to do pretty much whatever they wanted.

But here I am, many years from that life, married, with four boys, 2 dogs and a couple of goldfish - still living on the North Shore in suburban Auckland.
