Cooking the Firemen Breakfast
You may remember last year the guys from the Fire Service helped me out with one of my 30 Fears, well a year later I was back to repay them with a cooked breakfast at 7am. As the light was just coming up at 6:30am I had started the BBQ and was cooking the bacon while the eggs poached in the kitchen. The firefighters do an awesome job and risk their lives on a daily basis, so this was just our little way of saying thank you.
It has been wonderful to meet you! Fascinating to learn of New Zealand both similarities and differences. Thank you for sharing such wonderful conversations.
