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.

Godbyes Again

Well, thats it. After a few lazy days of packing and playing giant tetrus for real the container (aka ‘The Luggage’) was packed, sealed and collected. It will be making its way home and be arriving at the end of February. We are looking forward to getting it to its new home sometime this year.

Mixed feelings but mostly happy at going home. Sean will be bereft for a while, he will miss the sun and the sound of nothing and not having to see any people. He is adamant that he really really hates people. Jack and Barney are on adventure mode. It’s all good and exciting, so that’s a relief not to have teenage tantrums – oh the guilt!

On the whole it’s been a blast. New Zealand is a very beautiful place with much to offer the right people and it’s the best place in the world to come and have fun for a while. We’ve enjoyed it but it really is time to go home.

WE spent a lovely last day out with Jenns sister all the kids and Granddad as well in Peel Forest. It was a nice way to end.

So the days have finally dwindled down to none and its time again to say goodbyes and thankyous. Especially to the Davidson’s next door who did so much for us, as Jenn’s sister said “It’s been emotional”. But we hope we left leaving behind people who will miss us.
