Hey Peter, About 20 minutes north of you, Whangarei, Shifted up here about 4 years ago from Auckland looking for some land.

Wonderful. We are dreaming of moving even further north. Kaitaia! But the blerdy recession panic they created in the media prevents us from selling our farm! Arrgghh!

BTW, I want to see you driving in 20 minutes from Wellsford to Whangarei!  ;D It is 80km. I worked in Whangarei Hospital for half a year and it took me about 45 minutes from our place to work! But we do all our shopping   in Whangarei. Don't like going to Auckland.

I'd love to go to New Zealand.    It looks like paradise from what I have seen.

BTW
What does "Y'd ay"  mean?

Good day or perhaps G'day would have been better, Yip New Zealand is Awesome, so far away from the trouble everywhere else!

And Pete your right, I was being a bit conservative with 20min.

Paradise is a strong work! I meanwhile hate my job here as much as I did back in Germany! But I am able to hate my job at the beach, that's a big difference! What I love about NZ are the people. And the opportunities! I would never been able to own a small farm in Germany! Just unaffordable!

Cheers

Hi, I'm from NZ, Featherston in fact. I make cheeses and other milk products from cow's milk. I have been making cheese for about a year now. Halloumi is my favourite but have made some yummy hard cheeses. They vary so greatly even using the same recipes. Great fun. But I  have some issues I would like to iron out.

Hi Jon, I am about 2.5 hours away from you, what cheeses do you make? I would love to catch up with other cheese makers up north and have a "cheese tasting" meet somewhere
