Is New Zealand behind the times?
In this podcast, Brian and I talk about a topic that so many people (people who have usually never even been here) like to say.
That is that New Zealand is behind the times. A bit backwards. Slow to catch on.
“Ohhh… it’s like the UK in the 1950’s”. There are air raid shelters and everything…

We moved to New Zealand with kids (age 8 and 5) from the UK twelve years ago.
To say that we were wet behind the ears is an understatement. Rather we were sodding drenched.
We emigrated to New Zealand from the UK and within the first year of being in the country, we had made more mistakes than we had in our entire lives combined.

We have been living in New Zealand for twelve years.
We arrived from the UK where we had a comfortable home, my husband was on a good wage and both of my kids were at school.
Within a year of moving to New Zealand, we were living in a rented house and my husband was on half the wage.
Did I want to go home? At times, yes. But we were so determined to make New Zealand work that we did everything in our power to make it happen.

For sure.
Dealing with being together 24/7 is a regular conversation at our dinner table. We have been working together (on and off) as husband and wife – both from home and out of the house – for the past twenty-five years.
And we haven’t yet killed each other.
Notice how I said yet.
