A fi d'informar a la meva familia i als meus amics, aquí presento una miqueta de la flora i la fauna d'aquesta terra salvatge...

With the aim of describing to family & friends a bit about where we are coming from, below are some of the flora and fauna of this savage land...

Local inhabitants...

Homo ficus...

Un tranquil habitant de los frondosos bosques de Catalunya...
A peaceful inhabitant of the leafy greenwoods of Catalonia...

Some of the more savage fauna!
La fauna més salvatje!

Els natius continuant amb els seus milenaris custums...
The natives continue to practice their 1000-year-old traditions...

Jordi's dad!

Having a drink with Mariann & Robert last night, the idea of a weblog finally clicked with me. Amazing: it's only taken me three full years to understand the concept!

My other weblog, newriting.antville.org, is where I'll be posting new bits of writing as I want to show them, so that friends and colleagues can comment and give feedback.

In this initial stage, the idea is that family and friends can keep up with what's happening in Jordi & my lives, follow the trials and tribulations of our NZ odyssey, see the photos, etc, etc, without us having to write screeds of individual letters to each separate person.

Per tant, estarem escribint tant en anglès com en català.

A veure, els heroes de la nostre nissaga...

Això, un dia desprès de la piscina que haviem anat a dinar amb l'Oriol
One day, after going to the pool, when we had lunch with Oriol (who took the photo).
