Hi There

[bob and di]

Hello People

We moved to NZ from the UK about 2 years ago and are now lucky enough to live on a little 4.5 acre block in the NZ countryside just south of Auckland.

We have a few cows, sheep, chickens, and a little veggie patch ... plan is we eat a couple of sheep each year and remaining sheep produce new ones, sell a couple of cows each year to pay the rates, eat our chickens eggs and hopefully grow a few veggies ...

Still need to work for a living but we are having a go at it all

Very keen to become more self sufficent too by growing more veggies

Do we quality to join in your happy throng ?

Hello bob and di

My sister is moving out to NZ in the new year...she can't wait. She is staying in Auckland with her brother-in-law initially then spending some time with her best friend in Whangarie. She will then decide whether she prefers urban or rural before buying.I, of course, hope she chooses rural for when I visit

We lasted 2 weeks in Auckland city before deciding on a rural lifestyle ... I used to live in London .... cant see the point in moving from London to Auckland ... may as well stay in London ... the great thing about NZ is the countryside .. there is massis of it, its cheap to buy, and its not too far from the city ... we are about 45 mins from the centre of Auckland and it feels like we are hundreds of miles away ... houses in the city are not cheap, in the countryside they are cheap ... no decision really :-)

Good luck to your Sis .... we love it here .. its soooo easy to fit in, make friends etc, the weather is nice too
