Our first experiences of Gisborne NZ

Helga. Next time you go into Muirs, ask if they have any relis by that name in the UK.
It could just be little ole me.

Thanks Helga for the post, congrats on things going well

One question: Why did you guys selected this part of NZ, which is a bit far off from the normal places people choose to immigrate into?

Congratulations Helga.

Hi Venturello

Reason we're here - it's where my husband was offered the best job! So we didn't choose Gisborne - it just happened that way but we're very pleased it did - a beautiful area with fantastic climate (in summer - bit wet and windy today!). It is a bit isolated from the rest of NZ but there's an airport

I think,

It is a bit isolated from the rest of NZ but there's an airport

It's more of a shed where airplanes happen to land, you do get some thrilling landings on blustery days though!! :eek

Ha ha ha that's so true - it's amazing what seems totally normal a few months down the line... OH is off toChristchurch from the very same "airport" this week - strong winds promised

We had some very strong winds, hail, sleet etc etc at the weekend - today, of course, sunny and as warm as it can be at this time of year - how typical...
