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.

If you are looking for tips on working from home with your spouse then you might definitely certainly want to listen to this podcast.
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.

She’s a typical Brit. I’ve heard that saying more times than I’ve had hot dinners in the past twelve years.
And right there is a perfect example of typical British ways. Right up there in that first sentence.
Being British is fab. It’s brill. You can say things that make no sense at all to the rest of the world and every other British person understands what you are saying.
British Culture Habits
In this podcast episode (which also has a video to watch should you so wish!), we talked about 12 of the most typical British ways that the world finds both confusing (and often infuriating!)
