"Tucked away on the northwest tip of Ireland, Donegal has long been dubbed the nation’s “forgotten county.” No matter where you’re starting from, be it Dublin, Belfast, Shannon or Cork, tripping to Donegal is not a passing-through sort of experience, but a far-flung destination you’ve purposefully decided to visit.
"From rugged cliffs, towering sea stacks and quiet coves to charismatic heritage towns and whispers of th...
Ed Sheeran kicked off his Loop Tour last night in Auckland, and he had a few tricks up his sleeve.
With a 10 storey tall screen behind the stage and a bridge that allowed him to perform in the middle of Go Media Stadium, it was a new level of spectacle.
Chris Schulz was at the show last night, and he told Jack Tame Sheeran took it to levels he hadn’t seen before.

They’re an absolute nuisance in summer, especially around the barbeque later in the day!
If you’ve been in Australia during the holidays, you may have been near the coast with ponds and rivers, inlets and wetlands. There you’ll find salt-marsh mosquito – nasty biters (that species was eradicated from NZ some decades ago – just as well, it transmits Ross River Virus).
In New Zealand we don’t have any capable vectors of m...

For the last couple of years, he’s been running dangerously close to having his driver's licence suspended as a result of speeding.
While things are fine now, he did find that demerit points are far more effective in curbing dangerous driving and speeding than a simple fine.

I’ve done my best to avoid the headlines over the last few weeks, but Scott Robertson being booted from the All Blacks snapped me back.
I feel for him. Just as I did for Ian Foster, last time around. These guys are in high profile jobs, coaching high performance athletes. All top coaches know it’s a perilous business. But to be cut after just two years in the job, and after a period of inconsistent and occasionally poor but ...

In the end, it was just over an hour.
Just over an hour between being asleep on the floor of Auckland hospital, to standing, bewildered under the delivery suite lights, helping to dress my newborn son.
Mava had been induced on Sunday – the scans had suggested that all was ok but that our baby was small for his age. We spent an oddly serene day waiting for the induction medication to kick in. They give you a dose every two hours unt...
