Ive only got 15 mins ’til the internet place closes so just a quick hello. Have been further south to Invercargill ( awful place!) Dunedin ( fake edinburgh) and thru to Christchurch in the last few days, will go into detail when I have more time. We are currently in Picton, waiting for our ferry tommorow to take us back to Wellington in the North Island. We are officially looking for jobs now and somewhere to live.

I think we may end up in Auckland, where Mark can pick up the most work, but we aren’t ruling out the possibility of a few other places up there, i.e Wellington and Mount Maunganui, and Napier. We will just be getting the local papers and checking job websites, and seeing what property we can afford, so will keep you posted.

Congrats on selling your house Mick, we bet that was a relief!

Happy Birthday for tommorow Nan!! Just remember… it doesnt really matter if you’re old and grey…you know how the song goes! Hope you have a lovely day!

take care, speak soon

love from Gill and Mark xox
