Hi everyone.
The name is Dei. I'm new to the site and looking forward to making some new friends. Have been an expat most of my life. Born in the UK but left there in 1980 (No Regrets) since then have worked in Africa and the Middle East. Arrived in NZ in 2006. Love it here, so may well hang up my hat!
Now settled in North Canterbury, if there is anyone out there that enjoys chatting about life as an expat, socializing and making new friends, then there is always a cool glass of something in the fridge. So do get in touch.

Hi Dei, just seen your post! How are you enjoying west eyreton? Not the best place to be to meet people and socialise

Looks like Helen (HJMilligan) is organising a get together soon in Rangiora so would be great to meet you.

Hi there, would be interested in meeting up for coffee! Arrived in Christchurch on Thursday and just starting to find our feet (hubby and 20mth son). Need to organise a rental and buy a car, but once we are up and running it would be great to meet up.

Yep we will be taking Keira down to it, we went last year when it was in Mona Vale and it was great, had an Abba tribute band on and she was dancing away like a nutter, hees hoping the weather keeps up for it.

But it is decent day out for the kids
