Thanks Magdalena, I've been AWOL from Substack for a week or so after my trip away. I'm happy to report that no tigers were harmed, though a lot of food was eaten, and a lot of wine was drunk!

Moving to another country and starting from scratch is no small feat and takes a huge chunk of courage.

Thanks Roy :-) It took a long time to settle in after I moved, to go to a new country you have to be the sort of person who makes an effort to make friends and join clubs etc. to meet people. Luckily, I'd moved around a lot in the UK before but when you emigrate, you dismantle your whole life, which is another degree harder.

Starting a new life from scratch in a new continent - that's courageous. And inspiring!

Thanks Allison. It's always good to travel but you only get to know a country when you live there. I've been in NZ for 27 years now and it's a great place to live. I still miss the UK though, especially a cold Christmas and Marks & Spencers!
