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!

Beach Combing

One of our favourite activities on our frequent trips to the beach is beach combing. For those of you not familiar with this activity, it involves picking up interesting shells, sea-worn wood and other natural items relinquished by the tide.

Chris has taken the whole concept of beach combing to a whole new level. After having his (very expensive) prescription sunglasses swept off his head by a large wave, we decided to have a beach combing expedition to try and recover them - these were after all the 2nd pair of prescription glasses he'd lost in the same number of weeks! We duly worked our way down the beach resulting in:

a fantastic pair of classy jandels and a brush suitable for scrubbing the most esteemed of floors. Did we find the glasses?
