Ha ha - I only found out today that you can read what people say to you when they send it There's a 'Karma' button at the bottom of the posts. Not that you have to send it to me - just in case you might want to do it again Happy New Year Ian! Good luck in Oz.

Same here, thats why Id never move down to Welly. I ride horses and they can be silly in the wind... dont fancy being thrown from ones mount too often!! Windy weather also gives me rotten headaches if Im out in it too long.

We get windy days up here but more often its the sea breezes.... and thats quite pleasant.

This is our third "summer" here and I hope you don't mind me saying that I'm totally peed off with it!

I got the BBQ gas bottle filled up a few weeks back and have only used it once since then, it's more likely to rust than it is to become empty!

Gold Coast? heaven

We have only managed to eat outside once so far this "summer". We still bbq every week, most days actually... as the bbq is under cover to the side of the house, but we have to eat up in the dining area.

Its just so different to last year.... not the same weather patterns at all.

Hmmm........apart from running out of water, I hear that you are running out of energy and will be forced to build expensive nuclear power stations just to keep the air conditioning on!!

(or not )

Just cos they flog most of the stuff to China, all they do with it is hide in the sea just off the mainland

They will have most of the coal soon and over 50% will be hidden in the sea.

Dirk mate, did you not do your homework on Wellington before you got here, its windy and wet but mainly in the winter, this is a bad summer but hopefully things may lighten up over new year.

If you want to move try looking up north where it will be warmer

Good to see another Dirk on the forum though

Cheers

Hi
Well we have been in Welly since Feb & I have to agree it is naff weather, we haven't had a BBQ yet it's so unpredictable! We moved from Nelson with my hubbys job.... Nelson WOW weather wonderful sunny crisp winter days , warm hot & long summer days spent at the beach & in the pool. Hence we move back next wk & cannot wait.. the weather in welly has really got to us in the end. You don't need to go to OZ just top of the South Island best weather in NZ!

Happy New Year

I would love to go to Nelson to live, job wise I'd be knackered hence going to Oz, better weather better job.

So it can't be all wonderful over there.

Try reading the Moving back To UK forum sometime... a hell of a lot of expat Brits reckon OZ sux too, NOT just Kiwis
