My first post.

Well, I tried it before, but it got mixed up with Jan's, (my wife) - but I now have my own blog.

And, as you may already have guessed, the main theme is our impending move away from UK to New Zealand, a mere move of 12000 miles or so, don't do anything in halves us eh?

It has been a bit of a bumpy ride, but one that is now nearing it's end. Is it scary? You bet! But we have our reasons for doing it, the main one being for the benefit of our two lovely children, Kieran and Louisa.

We have the visas, the house is on the market, and we are gearing up to moving lock, stock and barrel to the southern hemisphere. Let's hope we can make a good go of it because we are putting our necks on the line.....
