If you are thinking of moving to New Zealand from the UK (or elsewhere for that matter) and are concerned about a few things you may miss, you are going to really LOVE this show!
Last week, Brian and went on holiday.
We stayed in a suburb of Dunedin called Port Chalmers. We loved it. Not only were we are away from the kids that never stop eating and the lawn that never stops growing, but we were able to explore one of the most beautiful parts of New Zealand.
It was during this time in the South Island, that we realised there were some things, things that we’d been longing for these past twelve years, were right here under our noses. Imagine that.
Ready to find out what they are? Let’s go!

This is the last podcast of the year and we wanted to make it personal. So here we are! Behind the Scenes. In the bedroom.
To be honest, we could have made this podcast very easy. We could have just sat there and said thank you over and over again. That would have summed up our feelings for you right now. But because we like to natter over cherries we also go into the things that scared us the most this year, how we tackled them and where we are now.
Wherever you are in the world Brian and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you. So very, very much. Without you, we wouldn’t keep going. You are a star. You are amazing.
All love
Liz and Bri xx

In 2017, Taranaki, New Zealand was voted by The Lonely Planet as being the 2nd best region in the world to visit.
Wow. That’s a pretty big label—a lot to live up to.
My family and I have lived in New Plymouth, Taranaki, New Zealand, for fourteen years. We now consider ourselves Naki locals. As you can imagine, New Zealand has a lot of pros and cons, and Taranaki is no different.
Join Brian and I talk as we talk about what Taranaki is REALLY like,
Enjoy!

New Zealand food. Not exactly the most talked about cuisine in the world.
Why?
Is it because the New Zealand people are ashamed of their national nosh, or are they hiding something from the rest of the world?
When we made our move to New Zealand from the UK fourteen years ago ( we were to have a new life in New Zealand with kids, and thankfully, I had heard that the ice cream was a winner, so at least I had that to fall back on!) but apart from that?
No. I’ll be honest. I wasn’t expecting much in the way of New Zealand food.
Maybe a few lamb chops and a packet of butter. A glass of milk at a push.
How wrong I was…

If you have ever wondered what New Zealand Teenagers are like then you will love this show.
Today I had the pleasure of talking with Tyrese. Tyrese is seventeen years old high school student who went from feeling angry and frustrated with school to managing his own curriculum and running his own successful radio station.
If you are after an inspiring story or a sneak peek into what living in New Zealand is like for a teenager then sit back and enjoy!
