Nice to see William here and all the others who have recently joined.
About myself:
Am a second generation pictureframer who started framing 20 or so years ago. Have started my framing shop in August 2012 in Feilding, North Island, New Zealand. Feilding is a town on the coastal plains with 15,000 inhabitants and serves a large and prosperous frarming community.
Feilding is famous for its Edwardian (1900-1910) architecture. These are now deemed an earthquake risk and need to be strengthend in order to survive a major shake or risk being pulled down before that happens.
Business is steady and I am happy about the move to Feilding, working on my own without staff.
It takes me a 1/4 hour drive in my economical Daihatsu Pyzar from my home in Palmerston North. It can take longer than that to drive from one end of Palmerston North to the other at half the speed. Unfortunately, there is no direct road between PN and Feilding, but as such, I can take different routes. One takes me at the end of the airport's runway, so planes can come over the road low in the air.
Another passes a marae, which is a Maori meeting house with nice wood-carvings on the outside. On clear days I can see Mt. Ruapehu in the northern distance. This is a large volcano, that has erupted recently.
