What do you miss most.....about NZ?!
 

Okay, a bit of a twist on the original 'What do you miss most?' thread already on here!

So for those of us still in the planning stage of emigration, (and stuck in the UK!)... what do you miss most about New Zealand?

For me it's:

The beautiful scenery,
The fresh air,
The friendly folk,
The lack of crowds,
The open spaces,
Speights Distinction Ale,
Scroggin bars

:thumbsup:

When I was last back in the UK, I missed:

Toffee Pops
Nice Orange Juice
Good Coffee
Jim Hickey
Richard Till
My car!

Amongst other things! :rofl:

The only thing I missed when back in UK last was:
the wonderful Wellington coffee

Longterm would probably also miss the scenery, the higher sunshine hours and the fairer voting system but that's about it.

I was in NZ, Whangaparaoa \ Stanmore bay area 1998 \ 1999. I know it was 10 years ago. But sitting out on the deck in the sun, watching the world go by was amazing!

I miss the fact I can't do that here and wish that someday! Someday I can do that again but under my (our) own steam!

We might have seen the last of those with the French test earlier this year. The new stadium is coming along nicely though!

Jim Hickey is my Uncle and he lives in Dorset!?:confused:

Re: What do you miss most.....about NZ?!
 

Does he fly in every week to do the weather on TV One? :rofl:

Re: What do you miss most.....about NZ?!
 

Quite possibly - he is a bit mad! Although I'm not sure the New Zealanders would get his thick brummy accent!;)

My dad lived next door to Jim Hickey's sister when I was a kid and his parents lived on the other side of them. They were the lovliest people ever and I always remember Jim giving us a ride on his trailer and getting my name wrong.:D
