A LONG WAY FROM HOME !!

When you live a long way from your home country, at times the feeling of longing, for anything that is familiar, visits us all sometime in our lifetime. No matter how happy you are with your new life, we all experience those occasional nagging yearnings for memories of our past. We've all bought the packet of biscuits we would never dream of buying back home, just to get that fix. We watch British TV programmes with a previously unknown fondness and reminisce. Coro Street, Eastenders, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire the list goes on. The perfect answer to quell this constant craving is to once in a while get back on YouTube and reminisce with those programs you miss most you can get everything you need to find on that site. Then we go down the Brit Shop in Browns Bay not too far away from home and we buy the odd packet of biscuits or sweets we can remember far back when we were kids. Wherever you come from in the UK, I can assure you the landscape here in New Zealand is astonishing and leaves you breathless when you get down to the South Island, there is so much to see and do with so little population here with the landmass 1/5 larger than the UK. The population is so tiny in relation to per land capita its bewildering considering the shock population growth in the UK at this present time. We have so much to look forward to here in New Zealand sometimes its so easy to forget where we are at times we take it just for granted like UK. That is why so many Brits go back after a few years to appreciate what they do have here in NZ and get to appreciate it more when they go back home and see the mass of people and greyness around them.
