I have recently returned from a holiday in New Zealand (Noth Island) and Rockingham near Perth in Australia. I was fed up with the UK weather so thought a visit to my Daughter in Mangaweka and my Brother-in-Law in Rockingham.
New Zealand roads are fantastic compared to UK. Lovely twisty roads but not good manners by car drivers.
We did encounter some odd sights.
I’m heading to New Zealand on Friday, to visit my daughter and her family. They have a house move while we are there… hopefully I’ll just be watching!!
You could always move to Ecclefechan instead. (Reminds me of the schoolteacher on her way home who met two of her pupils standing by the roadside, and asked them what they were doing. “Waiting for the 'fechan bus, miss” did not go down well.)
Because of the family/grandchildren connection we will, as usual, just be on the North Island. We do have a few days away planned before the move - Rotorua for a bit of volcanic activity, Napier for some Art Deco architecture and Taupo for everything else!
Once the move is done we’ll have this view over their farm to enjoy, so not too bad!!
No, sold house in town and moving out to the country. Nick is from a farming family, although he’s a police sergeant, and Carole is cabin crew with AirNZ.
They already have some cattle and sheep, I guess this is expansion time for their grazing company!
No more walking down to Muffin Break for morning coffee now!!
The house where we stayed during our holiday. Bought by a doctor and relocated for use of fellow medical people to relax and recuperate. No Internet and no TV just pure relaxation.
