Hey folks and friends,
am in Dunedin staying with the German jewellry teacher (who studied with Schulz-Wahle) at her farm with her husband, 3 dogs, 3 horses, plus chickens, geese, and goats. I have my own little shanty room that I have to hop a fence to get to that is also her workshop, and have already helped feed the horses. We're actually about to go put blankets on the rest of the horses because it looks like drizzle. So nice. SO nice. We're discussing horse poos right now in the kitchen. Oh how I wish you guys were here. I think I need one of those little japanese ear pieces like Pam and Jim had while Pam was still at art school.
So...... the school was absolutely great today as well, and talked to a lot of different artists (and you can do EVERYTHING when you're here... textiles, jewellry, ceramics, painting.......) so... if anybody can think of new ways of me finageling scholarships in the next year and a half, let me know. Pictures to come (because my camera still works!!! Yaaaaaay!!!!)
Going on a walk to horses with the new American Bulldog puppy now! (I am in heaven).
Love you all, from heaven.

Why are you living my dream life and I am stuck in an office!!!!
Claire:
Whileyou are in Dunedin, you should try to take a little side trip to Larmoch Lodge outside the town. It is in a beautiful setting overlooking a pretty bay (at least in the fall). I don't know about winter but the market outside the cathedral has the nearest stuff, at least in the fall (that is around Easter season!) I have bben enjoying your travels vicariuosly and am .so happy that you are having such a great time
Well, I guess the question of whether it was good that you extended your stay is now officially moot! We kept saying Claire would find great adventures, even by herself, but you have outdone yourself (and all of us) this time I think.
And I'll bet Herr Schulz-Wahle is going to be sehr excited!
We are living the life...through your travels that is! Keep on postin'
Too bad no one feels sorry for you isabug for working at Rock Center in the Big Apple, married to a good looking jazz musician, drinking your fancy lattes on 5th avenue...boo hoo..
I think it sounds better than it actually is... I want a lamb farm!
Arg... I just saw all these comments! I wish I had checked them earlier! You guys are cool... more updates on that Uni later too!
