Default Leaving shaky ChCh need new friends in Papamoa

Hi all

My family and I are moving to Papamoa at the end of this month after only 8 months in Christchurch. Was reluctant to have to start all over again but don't feel can stay here any longer.

Need to kick start our friend making and would love to meet up with anyone in early June. Need to enjoy life again.

Cheers Angela

Hi Angela,

You poor things. Never an easy decision I'm sure, but you'll have plenty to look forward to here in Papamoa.

Thus far, touch wood, I've not felt the ground shake.

That aside we are a pretty social bunch. We were playing netball weekly until our numbers dwindled. There's a fair bit of wine drinking. In fact we are having a little soirée tonight as it's ages since we've all got together. Let me know if there's anything you need sorting this end.

Seems you're not alone in wanting out and who could blame you. Good luck in Papamoa.


It's strange what accounts for news here some days but this British woman's 'story' about leaving Chch made it into the paper today. Not really sure it's anything extraordinary or why it should make the Herald today, but hey ho...

No meet ups planned as far as I know with my lot for a while, but will keep you posted when there is something on.

Whereabouts are you living?
