Hi Friends,

Some of you will already know, but for those of you who don’t, my wife Emma and I have recently split up.

I made some very stupid and selfish decisions and now I have to live with those. I never wanted to hurt my family, my wife Emma has never been anything but supportive to me and all my endeavours. She’s been an amazing wife and friend and she is an incredible mother to our children. That’s never been in question and if anyone says otherwise they can come and talk to me. There’s some things being said that aren’t true, Emmas done nothing to deserve whats happened and she deserves nothing but care and support. I have to live with the mistakes I’ve made and I want to be the best dad to my kids and friend to Emma now and always.

I will be a better person for my family and for me.

I’ve let my mental health slide in recent years. I knew I wasn’t happy, I wasn’t dealing with things and I wasn’t being honest with how I was feeling. I wasn’t being the husband and father my family deserved. I should’ve sought help and listened to those around me who cared, those who were telling me I wasn’t ok. but I didn’t. I didn’t talk, I didn’t want to face my problems head on and I’ll have to live with my actions for the rest of my life.

I’m so sorry to my wife. You didn’t deserve any of this. You would never have hurt me like I’ve hurt you and all I can say is I am so sorry. I’m sorry to my family. You didn’t deserve any of this and I’ll do my best to be better for you all.

Those poor pandas at the Oamaru Public Gardens have had a hard life, subject to plenty of vandalism from some very silly people…

I was able to give them some much needed TLC this week and don’t they look better for it!

Mr Pandas ear kept getting knocked off so I was asked to make a smaller one to hopefully stop this from happening again.

Be kind to our pandas please 🐼 ❤️

Check out this water tank transformation!

It was looking very old and tired, but it’s been brought back to life with a thorough cleaning and new paint job with the farms logo.

Completely transforms the space from tired and dull to bright and welcoming.

Got a tank or wall on your property that needs some TLC? Get in touch!

For those who’ve seen me around, you know I have a fair few tattoos 😂 I’ve had work done in London, Auckland, Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin aaaaand now Oamaru!!

Can’t believe it’s taken this long to get one here at home but once I saw the work from Sam of Junk Optics… I was in!

Her work is amazing, I just sat in awe watching it take shape and I’m so happy with the result. The atmosphere, the chat, it was a great experience all round. If you’re a nervous first timer who’s thinking of getting one - definitely hit up Sam.

We’re already planning the next piece and I can’t wait to see more of her amazing work. Go check out her work and give her page a follow ❤️
