The Country's Jamie Mackay catches up with Richard Loe today to find out what's going on in his neck of the woods in the Waimakariri Gorge.
It's a beautiful part of New Zealand but it's still dry in Canterbury and even the ski-fields are having issues with a lack of snow. This weird winter weather - is it global warming or just an anomaly?
Loe's off to the World Merino Conference in Adelaide which Jamie timidly suggests is a junket. Richard actually has a well-known merino stud on his farm so for once an ambassador of The Country has a reason for jet-setting.
Jamie wants to know if Richard Loe's rugby infamy is noted over in Australia and also what his thoughts are on the latest Super Rugby results.
Don't mention the Crusaders...
