The Fords in New Zealand

We are Chris, Vanessa, Shannon and Alex Ford. We decided some time ago that we wanted to live in a country where the main emphasis was on family and free time rather than the 'live to work' ethos of the UK. We chose New Zealand for this, and many other many reasons. After months of research we decided to settle in the Christchurch area. Our journey begins!

We haven't left yet!

OK - we are supposed to be exchanging contracts on the house tomorrow (Friday) but as of yesterday, we still have no confirmation from our solicitor that everyone is ready to go. The frustration has really set in now. We have the shippers provisionally booked to come in next Tues, Weds and Thurs. Airpets are provisionally booked next Monday to take Diesel (the dog) off for his enforced 25 day stay and we haven't yet booked our flights!

We also decided to take a holiday en-route to iron out some of the stress of the last few months, and ease us into our new life gently - we will need it! As soon as we exchange, we will be booking a week in Siem Reap, Cambodia and a couple of days in Singapore - I can't wait.

Hi Chris

Glad to see you are starting to do well on the work front. Thanks for the mention on the website . I like the company name - a classic !!! Almost as much effort went into that as my company name.
It seems like you are having a great time . Keep in touch from Tony , Nige , Nick and Tom
