I don't read, I ride horses

Hey you guys! (say it like the goonies)

So I didn't read nearly what I expected to while in New Zealand. Instead I took up the practice of wine and cheese in the late afternoon, cups of tea whenever just because, learned to read music, rode horses across a sheep farm, watched it rain, talked jesus and politics, and wrote stuff. It was lovely though not at all what I expected but that's the way life goes.

I am home now and reading like a rabid man only my reading has taken another drastic turn. You see, while in the land of the long white cloud I got inspired to write a book, and I'm in full on research mode at this moment and for months to come. I'll post more about it very shortly as I will be needing your help in more ways than one to complete this task of words and ideas on paper!

...

In the meantime, try to find the children's book Frederick about the little four mice, in particular the one mouse Frederick. While all the other mice are working and storing up for winter, Frederick is seen as the lazy mouse but in fact he has a very important purpose that will come to light once the hardships of winter sit in. It has inspired me in many ways and I hope it does you as well.

Until then,
Bradley
