I’m UK-born and bred all over the place! Now late 30s and happily married to Stinky Jane, last lived in Woodingdean near Brighton, more recently emigrated to New Zealand and living in the countryside (on the North island) – which this blog is documenting (to a greater or lesser degree!) We moved here for a greater quality of life and to pursue interests that were difficult, too expensive or unattainable in the UK. Currently I’m working in IT for EDS and Jane is working at Wharekaka rest home in Martinborough.
We’re currently living just outside Greytown in the Wairarapa (the world’s best province, according to the local radio station!!) …
So here is the site with info (primarily aimed at keeping our families updated) on our ex-pat lives so far.
Relishing the community yet liking the anonymity of the inter-web, snap happy yet camera-shy, open-minded yet cynical …
I’m Crispy, Skype Me –
