Jock - that is a most difficult question for me to answer. I've lived in New Zealand, the UK (2x), South Africa, France and the USA. In the US I've lived in California, Illinois and North Carolina. And my job took me all over the world.

Everywhere I have lived I have always found something that is special to that place whether it's trout fishing in NZ, history and heritage in the UK, the scenery and weather in the Cape, the wines and cheeses of France. Utopia for me would be that one place that combines all of these but reality is that this probably does not exist (although NZ comes close).

So my utopia is where I am, and what I make of the place that makes it unique to me.
