UK to New Zealand - The Brunts Big Move: September 2009
http://bruntsinnewzealand.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
UK to New Zealand - The Brunts Big Move. Saturday, September 26, 2009. I have decided that one of the signs that you have truly begun to settle in somewhere is when you are rushed off your feet and have no time for things like blogging. The last few weeks have gone by in a blur of school drop offs, coffee mornings, application forms and late nights. There are hides dotted all around the reserve which are ideal places to spot birds from - providing you don't shout out every time you see a duck. It has bee...

UK to New Zealand - The Brunts Big Move. Saturday, May 30, 2009. Four Seasons in One Day. We have been busy unpacking this weekend and watching the weather pass by our living room. The forecasters predicted snow and so far we have seen bright sunshine, hail, rain and snow. We have rather a good view from our lounge and can see the hail pass from east to west across the valley below. Naughty toads on the balcony! Watching the hail fall is fascinating when your two! Hail in our back garden. Our furniture h...

Rainbow of Life: February 2012
http://anny-rainbowoflife.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Live well, Laugh often, Love much. Friday, 24 February 2012. Vietnam is such a beautiful country. We were fortunate enough to travel there in 2010 with not just our children but also my brothers family. This trip was bittersweet as it would probably not have eventuated without the tragic loss of two family members. Daily life on the streets of Hanoi. Moving the cattle along the beach at Hoi An. Hanoi -this man made these detailed figures from Vietnamese playdoh! Beautiful view after 1000 steps! I started...

UK to New Zealand - The Brunts Big Move: August 2009

UK to New Zealand - The Brunts Big Move. Sunday, August 30, 2009. I have decided that I our house is essentially not that different from the tree house that my Dad built myself and my brother and sister. It moves in the wind and the rain thunders on the roof. You can also feel the gusts through the windows just like in the tree house which had no glass. Double glazing seems to be unheard of over here. Brown colour as opposed to the glittering blue/green it is most days. Herself and showed J were to put h...

UK to New Zealand - The Brunts Big Move: June 2010
http://bruntsinnewzealand.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
UK to New Zealand - The Brunts Big Move. Saturday, June 26, 2010. Wet Wintery Weather and Frustrations. It is cold. Very cold. OK maybe not as cold as it gets in the UK but still pretty chilly. We have had frosts, hail, bright sunshine and rainbows in the last week. Currently I am watching the rain slowly flood the valley below us and the girls are cycling and scooting round and round in the garage in an effort to expend some energy. It is a very frustrating position to be in. It was also rather depr...

UK to New Zealand - The Brunts Big Move: South Island Holiday - Glenorchy
http://bruntsinnewzealand.blogspot.com/2015/01/south-island-holiday-glenorchy.html
UK to New Zealand - The Brunts Big Move. Monday, January 19, 2015. South Island Holiday - Glenorchy. We have just got back from a fantastic two week holiday to the South Island. We have previously never been further south than Nelson Lakes so this year we decided to take a look at the Southern Alps and booked a bach (aka holiday cottage) in Glenorchy. To give you some idea of the beauty of the area several films have been shot in the surrounding countryside. The scene where Boromir dies in Lord of th...

UK to New Zealand - The Brunts Big Move. Saturday, January 30, 2010. A Kiwi Summer at last. I have decide that I am extremely British in that I have an obsession with the weather. Living in New Zealand suits me as the weather here changes from hour to hour and is highly unpredictable. At this time yesterday we were paddling in the sea watching the crabs crawl over our toes. Today is grey and cold with driving rain and we are sat huddled inside watching commando guinea pigs on DVD. For the tram ride up to...

UK to New Zealand - The Brunts Big Move. Thursday, March 25, 2010. The Importance of Being Playful. My girls are genius's. Obviously! Today J came home from school with a very nice certificate for being a "caring, friendly and hardworking member of the class" and A came home with her record book from Kindergarten full of photos of her exploring water, sand and ice. They have settled in so well into the system over here I cannot fault it at all - so far. J went to maternelle. What childhood should be about.

UK to New Zealand - The Brunts Big Move. Wednesday, February 17, 2010. I know I am doing the right thing but. I think I am probably being a bit overly dramatic here. The great thing about living on the other side of the world today is that I can actually talk to, and see, my Mum and Dad every morning (and evening if I want! Putting up the tent was easy and A and J helped enormously as you can see! J in her snazzy hat. Kaitoke really is a beautiful spot! Wednesday, February 17, 2010. It was a very excitin...

Live well, Laugh often, Love much. Friday, 26 April 2013. Rice Pudding Baby.my alter ego! So, I forgot to add in my random facts last post that I have started selling my crochet on line. Yes I have opened both an Etsy shop and a Madeit shop. So what was I going to do with all this crochet.I live in the sub-tropics and my youngest daughter is 17 and no grandchildren in sight. Therefore to justify my yarn stash to my huband I decided I would give selling a go. One last thing.why Rice Pudding Baby? Yes I co...
