Hello and Welcome

Hello, we are two New Zealanders (Kiwis) living in England, Hamphshire to be precise. No preciser - we don't know if any identity thiefs are reading this.
The English we met, think we are mad wanting to move here, but hey maybe we are! Perhaps it helps to be slightly mad to live here!

We are over here on a Work Visa, the sector I work in has a shortage of employees, so imigrants with the relevant qualifications can come and live here (for three years initially).

Why?
Well New Zealand is a long way away from anything (24 hours non-stop by plane, and there's no shortcut) and not close to much (except Australia) so we came over here to sight-see, do some travelling around Europe, experience new sights and sounds.

My ancestors come from Scotland 120 years ago to seek out a new existence and better quality of life in NZ.
So in some ways we have come full circle, although one day we will return to New Zealand.

So this is our Blog, I hope you enjoy it and pop in every now and then and have a laugh (not much to laugh at in this first, serious, one) .
