Well since we last blogged, there has been a very important event, Megs and I have now been married a year. And what a great year we have had. Thank you to Aya, the Faheys and Daniel and Nikki who joined in with the chorus of well wishers marking this important milestone.
I'm not sure how future anniversaries are going to stand up to the Palm Springs one? This place is FABULOUS. We took a pricey architectural tour this afternoon and were blown away time and again by the beautiful design we were exposed to.
The Americans refer to the primary style of Architecture here as "Mid-Century Design", this is the style known to most kiwis as "modernism", whatever you call it, the purity of line, simplicity of design, high regard for functionality and the environment, honesty in building practise and integrity of expression is something to behold. Palm Springs is said to have the highest concentration of "modernist" architecture of any place on earth, and having done the yards today I'd be amazed if anywhere else can top it.
Included in the tour was the Kauffman house by Richard Neutra, the same clients who commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright's "Falling Water". It is breathtakingly beautiful.
How lucky were the Kauffman's that their two homes happened to be the two most desirable residences in the USA?
Meanwhile back at the ranch, the Orbit In continues to impress as the nicest home away from home a pair of honeymooners could hope for.
The only negative aspect of the day, was yet another capitulation from our Cricketers. On a positive note, our Internet browsing today revealed this favourable review for the Undercover series by the NZ Listener.

Anyways that is the update... I can only hope that subseqent years with Megan will be as perfect as this one was.
Let's all pray for a miracle in tomorrow's cricket or at least a decent thunder storm!
love hudsie
