There are some questions that can't be answered by Google, so Padma wanted to go to St Bernard's Catholic Church for some answers while I walked the dogs on the beach.
Strolling through Batehaven's small shopping precinct, I met this Pom standing outside a laundromat. Coming out to Australia in '72 and settling in Melbourne, he was now heading north and bemoaning the fact that the world in general and this country in particular were heading south.
It was a great morning for moaning and so we talked and talked until even the dogs got the shits and had to be taken back to the beach. We shook hands and agreed to start our own TV show: "Grumpy Old Men".
Keep an eye out for it!
