I am a 24 year old Kiwi who has been living in Glasgow, Scotland since March 2009.
Prior to moving to Glasgow I was working as a drummer in the Western Australia Police Pipe Band, based in Perth, Australia.
I'm a member of the wonderful Band Club Pipe Band, based in Sydney but have taken the time out to compete with The Vale of Atholl Pipe Band, based in Pitlochry, Scotland.
When I'm not drumming I'm often found selling kilts and other assorted items of highlandwear or taking copious amounts of photos.
Now that I'm all settled in Taupo and enjoying life, I have had this little inkling to want to acknowledge people in some way for the little things they do. Now, this sounds all a bit airy fairy but who cares?
So, I am going to start a little 'Thumbs Up' section of this pretty much neglected blog for those people or things each day that make me smile, make life easier or just simply, should know that they have done something awesome.
Most of them will probably be in reference to Taupo but who knows what could come up.
