Winter in New Zealand appears to be very differant than any other winter I’ve experienced before. Britian is famous for its weather the world over. when my friend, who’d moved to Germany brought his bride to be over to England for a visit the weather became a still is a standing joke.
Like most, I’m used to the winter consisting of months of grey skies and rainy days. That’s what I expected to encounter, but it seems to be the opposite here. So far, except for less days of rain than I have fingers on my hand, we’ve had blue skies. It almost feels like we’ve not left the uk in regards to the weather and its summer
Don’t get the wrong idea it has got colder… but then it is winter.
I’ve always known winter to be the time of year that you turn up the heating and hideaway, not emerging again until late spring if not summer when it’s warm again; almost to the point of hibernation.
Having only been here in New Zealand for 4 weeks now, we’re still far too enthusiastic about exploring our new home to let the threat of cold southerly winds force us to stay indoors. It sometimes feels like when I was a kid in a new environment, another opportunity for exploration.
Despite winter being upon us now, we woke the other day to the weather beckoning us out of the house. Karina had often mentioned of a walk round the airport she enjoys and offered to show us. Our walk then took a detour onto a far part of the beach known as Moa point.
We've started a new life down under in Wellington, New Zealand!

Hi. All looks great. Don’t blame you for getting out and about. How cold is cold by the way? What sort of temperatures are you getting? Mind you the weather has not been too bad over here recently. Not that you’ll be missing the British summer! Keep up the good work guys. Thinking of you both. S&S
Is that caption in the photo of Kerry-anne supposed to actually be on the photo of Kerry-anne? Just wondering?
