PS. for the record I prefer NZ because there is so much more opportunities here, but I am sure some people think the other way round also.
If it is money and material things people are after NZ is not the place to be, for ease of life and enjoyment easier upbringing for kids etc NZ wins hands down, in my opinion obviously, each to there own.

We have two ducks and hope to have chickens. This is not something we are doing as such but it is something that we can have here that we couldn't really have had in the UK. Our UK garden and area wouldn't really have been Ok for this in the UK but our Nz garden is. Better still, our neighbours also have chickens, in fact most of the folks we know have 'em and all neighburs just love the ducks being around, even the neighbour that routinely goes shooting.

Re: Who is doing things they would never of dreamed of back in UK!
we managed to start a business - something i never even contemplated before we got here.
even more , given the whole NZ wages are less than the UK, we are making more money here than we could have thought about when i was back in the UK
we learnt to sail and own a boat.. never thought about that.
we own our own home and even with this downturn expect to be mortgage free in less than 10 yrs.. again something i never thought could be happen!
i have managed to take up fishing again, something that just didnt happen in the UK since i was 12
Taken up hunting..mmm rabbit pie
learnt new skills.. never thought i'd know how to use a chainsaw!
am happy with what we have here.. something i didnt quite get when i was back in the UK..
7 yrs has flashed over quicker than i realised..
