In 2009, for many reasons that we wont go into here, we took the family decision that it was high time that we had our next big adventure. Its taken a year to sort out but finally, on April 11th 2010, we leave Blighty and family and freinds for a new life in New Zealand. This blog is for us to keep telling our story to those we leave behind and for those we leave behind to know that we miss them and they are in our thoughts.

What have we been up to

Guilty that we haven't been keeping up to date with the blog. So what have we been up to? Obviously the rain hasn't been raining all the time. Has it? Feels like it, the natives are starting to mutter about this being 'The Big Wet'. However, in between the wet Sean and Jenn went to Christchurch and saw:

New Zealands tallest trees, the Kahikatea or the White Pine (Podocarpus dacrydioides)

What happens when cyclists and tram tracks collide


Some city culture


We also gave up waiting for the rain to stop at the weekend and decided to test out the all terrain abilities of the Mondeo. We took a trip to the Backcountry to Lake Emma. It rained but was very lovely.


We've also been told that our stuff has cleared customs and MAF Biosecurity checks with no expensive mistakes. Horrah! Having our own stuff around us will make a huge difference. We can't wait.
