Leaving UK 2nd November, moving to Christchurch on a 2 year contract but who knows what will happen... And sorry to report no pets with me, although I could be persuaded to feed and water Richie McCaw if no one else wants the job? .

How could I forget our Black Lab Bess who is 2 years old and is also coming with us.
So once immigration approve us it will be John,Patsy and Bess South West Scotland to Blenheim in November.Fingers crossed!!

We leave the UK on 28th Nov and arrive in Auckland on 29th Nov. Planning on spending the first year or so in St Helliers - but will ultimately depend on where we work. All stuff went 2 weeks ago with Pickfords. Can't wait to get out there!!

Hopefully us! Mount Maunganui job awaits with fingers and toes crossed! Me, the husband, 8 year old & 5 year old daughters. Nervous about schools etc. so ANY advice gratefully received. MASTER PLAN = lifestyle property and grow our own

I'm here!

Been in the country for three hours, so far it's rained like world is ending; then gotten really quite toasty warm; I very nearly killed a pedestrian (apparently it was my fault, but they just roam free like little gazelles - should definitely have been paying more attention to the lady in the car hire place); met a load of really great people - very friendly too, so that at least partially squashes the unfriendly kiwi worries; and finally fell down a set of stairs... Everything changes and nothing changes

Now off to root through my suitcase to work out what to wear for dinner with my new colleagues. If NZ stays this much fun, I'm going to love it. Off to the beach tomorrow and then for a mooch around hagley park on Sunday before being a grown up and doing boring bank and tax stuff on Monday.

I have a feeling I'm going to love it here.

And before anyone gets all grumpy, I'm fully aware that you can't judge a city based on your first 3 hours in it...

beales

Melvin, Sheila & Jake Beale land in Auckland 11/11/11, moving from Hinckley, UK to Hamilton. Springer Spaniel Callie arrives on the 13th.

Happy days, we are soo excited!!
