It's the simple things in life!
 

There are lots of things that I like about living in NZ but two of my favourite are:
The fuel stations where the nice member of staff fills my car for me.
The fact that now I drive along the beach during my working day rather than driving in inner city Southampton.

I'm easily pleased!

I liked the fact that, within six months of arriving in NZ, I could walk the main street of the capital city and half a dozen passers-by would say "G'day, Pete." Try that in London or any UK city:D

I like that I virtually never lock the car and sometimes not the house either.

The weekly wash dries outside all year, no need for an expensive drier. :)

I like looking at the stars and searching for the Southern Cross.

Agree! My favourites would have to be driving through Christchurch on a sunny winters day and seeing snow capped mountains glistening in the distance with bright blue sky. Oh, and having a BBQ for dinner almost every evening and it's not even proper summer yet! And the sunshine, love the sunshine (I am starting to get a tan) :lol:

Used to love seeing Ruapehu in the distance when I drove to work when we lived in Palmy.
The Southern Alps as seen from the streets of Chch:)

I lived in Croydon before moving to NZ. I always walked to work and passed the same people every day, many would smile and nod in recognition or say hello after a while.
Some of those had seen me out and about with my dog and he was always a conversation starter:wub:, but not all had.
Pete, the above may be true in central London but not where I lived:)

Funnily enough that's one of my pet hates. I'd rather do it myself!

Looking at the night sky & seeing the Milky Way is my favourite.

Put the BBQ outside the kitchen door, put a sail over to keep dry, or cool, and cook all meat there all year round....magic :thumbup::thumbup: tates so much moister...;) Man stands cooking meat (perhaps with the odd beer:blink:) wife indoors prepares the green bits..:D
Also saves cleaning the oven!

You're right. Even though it gave me a good feeling, it's a rubbish post and I'm wrong as usual. Better delete it.

That's the plan for when we buy a place! There are plans in place for an outdoor pizza oven, a mobile bar and a purpose built "house" for the barbie :D

Mmmmm steak....
