“You can never do something for the first time, twice”. You’ve known about the move for around 9 months, completed a few weeks of French lessons, have numerous people tell you how exciting this is and how lucky you are but you have no idea… no idea what’s ahead. You’ll pack your life and belongings into a couple […]
A BIT OF WHAT I’VE GOT TO SAY
A MONTH ABROAD RE-CAP
A MONTH ABROAD RE-CAP This is the longest we’ve been away on holiday all at one time. Ihaia hasn’t had 4 weeks off in a row from rugby as the breaks don’t work like that in NZ and in France the season goes for literally 11 months [10 months of games, around 1 month for […]

On my visit back home to NZ for a month, we planned a weekend to Nelson and booked Rabbit Island Glamping for our accomodation. FRIDAY I flew down to Nelson on Friday morning as Brooke was already down there for […]
