A year further on …

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

Well we’ve made it past our first year here in New Zealand at last and have to say it’s been a pretty good year, all in all.

We arrived here in the middle of October and we have managed to:

  • buy monster truck to play in the snow
  • take a couple of weekends skiing, just a short drive from home
  • muck about on the local beaches
  • take a winter break in the wonderful Cook Islands
  • buy a house (hurrah!)
  • the clever one has started (and so far aced) University
  • Moreover, we’ve met some great people and enjoyed more sunshine than any other year of our lives so far.
