Default I`m back. Hello if you don`t know me.

Hi. Haven`t been on here for over a year but bumped into Am Loolah today and i had forgotten how much help i had received from this site when i first got here well over 3 years ago.
We all still love it here. My daughter has made it into the New Zealand under 17 volleyball squad (not bad for a 15 year old who didn`t know what volleyball was 3 years ago!!!). Very proud parents.
I`ve bought into a fishing tackle shop in Mount Maunganui. A bit odd for me as i`m a builder by trade but been doing it for 8 months now and have to say i`m loving it. Especially the product testing!!!!!
We`re still living in paradise or Omokoroa as the locals call it. Our views are stunning. I`ll try and download some just as soon as i work out how.
Anyway, hello if you don`t know me and i specialize in quetions on housebuilding and now of coarse........fishing.
Cheers
Ash

Ain't that the truth!

If you go into your profile you can edit your signature and put a link to the shop etc in it hun. I'm sure they'll be queuing up to inspect your tackle ...

Hi Ash, I joined here last Summer so did not know you previously. Sounds like you have made a real go of it over there. Always good to hear how people have settled in especially after a few years. Funny how you end up doing things you never would have dreamed of

Well done to your daughter, that is a fantastic achievement

Thanks for coming back with an update

I don't look in to BE often but have spent this evening browsing the update sections in OZ forum then the NZ forum. Good to see you posting again.
Great news of your daughter making it into Volleyball squad!
We're still in Omokoroa so do drop in for a drink. I oscillate between loving it here and wanting to move nearer to a city ?!
cheers

Hi Dewb,

Its funny but all the expats that i`ve met have either gone back into something they used to do (most play football- there`s alot of 40+ football teams here littered with English) or something they thought they`d like to do but never got the chance. Then there are the odd nutters that really go to extremes and bungeeeeee!!!!
You`ve inspired me into a new thread. Thanks.
Where in the South East are you? We used to live in Battle, East Sussex.

Hi Helen,

I know what you mean. Its stunningly beautiful here but sometimes it does feel a bit of a trek into town. I often walk past your house and think of tapping on your door. Don`t want to scare you though!!!!
