Richard farewells his friends!

Well, I leave this coming Tuesday... at 5:30am to catch the Interislander across to Wellington. So... now is the time to farewell friends and family! I hope to catch up with people before I go, but things are pretty busy at the moment with sorting out the move. Anyway, thank you everyone for your support, encouragement and advice - Denali and I really appreciate it.

Oh... if I do happen to come round to say goodbye please don't do a 'Doug' and scream and whimper for me to stay. Things are out of my hands now people... I have to go... I know it will be hard for you all... but it's for the best. Just let me go... just let me go... everything will be OK.

Besides... my ankles can only take so much strain and pain.
