John Palmer I Presume ?

Trying to organise a short notice study tour around New Zealand has proved very challenging, particularly during an intensive contemporary scholars conference.

At the outset my sponsors suggested that I visit a renowned pomologist, John Palmer in Nelson New Zealand.

It transpires there are Two John Palmers in the Nelson area and I find myself spending 24 hours with John Palmer, the chairman of Air New Zealand and board member for numerous other business’s.

Within Six hours of bidding farewell to my fellow scholars I am on a dream like “grand designs” set and enjoying a wine and a barbeque with John and Sally, overlooking the Ocean.

Thanks very much to both of them, surely things can only go downhill from here!
