After spending our honeymoon in NZ two years ago, followed by another holiday last year (just to check it was as good as we first thought) we have just shipped all our belongings over and we are landing in Wellington at the start of October. The various forums have been really helpful so a big thanks to everyone for taking the time to post on them. We are really lucky that we have great kiwi friends who have been in the UK for the last 5 years and are returning to Wellington early next year, but saying that its still pretty scary.... We were succcesful with a long term business visa application rather than finding jobs, which is going to make the whole thing even more interesting when we get out there!

Welcome guys - my family are all in West Sussex, too.

So what type of business will you be running?

Fingers crossed we will be selling costumes, outfits and accessories for hen and stag groups (plus sports events etc) via a website which has some decidedly dodgy looking models on it - me and the mrs!

cheers

Hey fellow Copthornians (or Yellow Bellies as we were traditionally called) - whereabouts did you live? Sadly the beautiful old house I grew up in got knocked down and turned into apartments, but I lived in Copthorne Common Road, near the golf course.
