They don't call it Windy Wellington for nothing, and living 40km outside of it doesn't make any difference You really don't like the wind.

Stop being a worry wart, you moved from one side of the world to another, you can do anything

I would say - "do not go back to nz shocked kiwi. You are europeanised now, in one year you will have a british passport, and you love travelling. Nz will handbrake you - you will feel more british than a kiwi and will feel like a stranger in your own country"
