Name:
Location: Inverness, Scotland

I'm a Brit/Yank who has now settling back in Scotland with wife Tracy after living in New Zealand and traveling in Australia for a couple of years. Having contributed random thoughts on life in the Antipodes I now blog some impressions of returning to my native Scotland after 22 years away, and also document my marathon training to keep myself motivated. I post pictures at www.timcooke.com which also help to tell the story of our travels.

Xmas (part 2)

To add to the general craziness at this time of year it would also appear that Boxing Day is the equivalent of Black Friday (day after Thanksgiving) in the US: the biggest shopping day of the year. So Xmas shopping fever is extended at least one more day. Much of the population of Wanganui, however, spends the day watching motorbikes tear around a street circuit set up in town which sounds like a whole lot more fun than hitting a mall to me.
