New Frontier

Neighbour John has run away to join the circus - or, at least, the modern equivalent. He's sold his fine foods wholesale business and gone to work on the set of Spielberg's new television series The Pacific in far-away Queensland.  It all comes about because Henry, the brother of John's partner, Liz, does logistics for film companies, and not so long ago did a long stint in China for Mission Impossible 3 (or was it 4?).  Anyway, it's rather sad for us but he will be back, no doubt with many tales, and it just shows golden opportunities are just waiting to be grasped out here in the colonies.
