About this blog

Starts off as a travel blog, but over the weeks and months will develop into more of a living and working in New Zealand Blog

I decided to start this as a place from which Millie and Dylan's school friends and our family and friends in England can keep up to date with what we are up to.

Please feel free to comment

Any snaps that we take along the way will probably get put onto our Flickr site http://www.flickr.com/photos/kirkstuff/
