New to Torbay, North Shore
 

Hi there, I have posted on here before as 'Hippygran' when I was in the UK, have now change my e-mail address & found it easier to create a new name. Found the site really useful, helpful & very supportive in our LONG journey to NZ. We arrived in NZ on 27th November 2009 & stayed with family until our container arrived. Our furniture arrived at our house on 18th February - 119 boxes, so since then our time has been taken up packing & putting stuff away - and, yes it was like Christmas & birthdays all rolled into one when we were opening boxes.

The reason I am writing today is I wondered if there is anyone who is also new to the Torbay/Browns Bay area who would like to meet up for coffee/chat, possibly help each other to settle in & make friends in a new, brilliant country. I am a young-at-heart 70 year old, married with family living in Murrays Bay, loves gardening & loads of other stuff. Would love to hear from anyone in the same situation.

Cheers

Joan

Hi Hippygran

A few years younger that 70, but always up for a coffee and a chat :D.
I live in Torbay to. Just pm me if/when you fancy a coffee.

Hi Foxy,

Thanks for your reply, sorry for the delay in responding, only moved into our house just over two weeks ago & it has been pretty chaotic. As a new poster as 'Hippygran 2', apparently I need to make three postings before I can send a PM to you. Hopefully I will sort that out as soon as I can & will be in touch.

Thanks.

Joan.

Glad to hear you're getting settled in Hippygran. :thumbsup:

Hi Joan.

You can request to have your old account and new account merged. That way you get your older posts but keep your new details.

Would you like that? :)

Hi Bev, Yes, that would be great.

Thanks
