Uk Expat - Just moved to Hibiscus Coast
Hi there! I have been in NZ for quite a few years on and off but chanced upon this website and thought it would be great to meet some new folks!
I am a UK expat and my husband and I live here near Silverdale.

Re: Uk Expat - Just moved to Hibiscus Coast
Hi there Sue, thanks for your reply. I have been in NZ for about 8 years on and off . I tend to move quite alot so it has been tricky to get to know people. This site looks good and I think I will get to know a few people. I love Nz and really feel at home here. I have lived in alot of countries and have had Alot to do with the Nz immigration processes as I'm sure many people have! But Nz is the place for me! It was worth the effort....

Hello!
I'm also on the Hibiscus coast (just near Manly) and meet up with the other lovely ladies in Whangaparaoa. Maybe we should arrange another meet up so that you can come along
