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!

Our second outing to Woodford Glenn. Ha ha, we know the score now. Dressed in utilitarian but warm clothing, and armed with camp chairs and a flask of coffee and one of hot chocolate we head out for the 3rd meet of the season. The place is packed, evidently the prospect of $15,000 of fireworks draws in all sorts, not just ardent race fans that have been to most meetings this season, like us, I bet this is thier one and only visit!

We manage to grab a space on turn 3 and settle down for an evening's fun, and we're not disappointed. As well as the fireworks which were AWESOME (as they like to say here) the meeting had a higher carnage factor than last time and there were quite a few smashes, smoke and fire.

The evening ends gone 11pm and we all head home tired but having had a good night out.
