By
the time I was 43 I lived and worked as a child and as an adult, sometimes as
it happened and sometimes by choice in 5 complete different corners of the
world including 9 major moves in 22 different addresses. Now for the last 19 years
we lived in only one house in one place in one country, that’s too much.
Imagine another 38 years on the same spot.
My
wife came from Wales as a young teen-ager “as it
happened”. People move across the globe for all sorts of reasons.
After
having been In New Zealand for well over 30 years both of us would like to see
and feel more of the world we came from even though its fabric would have
changed a lot. The cold war was still raging, a holiday could be as much as
packing up the back of your cycle and go to a far flung place all of a 60 km
away. Never mind a spot of surfing in Mauritius.
We
have been back to Europe a few times over the years and every time leaving it was hard – as no
doubt it will be just as hard to leave our present shores. So now we would like
to spend some time there and see what how it unfolds.
Here
some pictures of the last 20 years in Waimauku and the jobs to do, before all
can be put in a container and send overseas.
