Dear Geoff, Sally and all Staff at the Emigration Group

 

Firstly our apologies for not getting in touch before now, things have been quite hectic but as you can see we made it!

 

It is now just over 2 years since we came to that first meeting at your Chester office on a cold very wet day early in January. Well we finally managed to leave the UK on the 15th of September 02. We are still living in rented accommodation but are due to move into our own home in March. It has 22 acres of land, mountain view, swimming pool, 4 bedrooms plus space to convert into a self contained flat for guests or to rent out and just 10 minutes from the sea and beautiful beaches and an hours drive to the nearest ski fields. It is truly a very beautiful part of New Zealand and we still find it hard to believe we live here.

 

Our Children Jessica and Peter have settled very well into their new school with opportunities to do so many different activities. They both now have part time holiday jobs for the summer looking really well and happy  .Geoff is now enjoying working at a local engineering firm getting into the New Zealand way of doing things.

 

I have been doing some supply teaching for the Nelson Kindergarten Association which has been a very valuable experience and good introduction to the New Zealand Education system. I have now been offered a full time teaching post near Nelson to start in January.

 

We have been busy exploring this beautiful place and trying out different sporting activities. Geoff has been hunting and shot a deer, we have been scalloping and diving for cray fish (lobster) Santa has brought us a boat for Christmas so more fish for the freezer and endless family pleasure on the water.

 

We definitely are enjoying a better quality of life out here. We have no regrets only that we should have done it years ago. It was a big risk for us at our age (nearly 50) and 2 teenage children but we knew it was now or never.

 

We hear now that the points have now gone up to 30 and realise how lucky we are to have obtained our residence visa’s when we did and this we could not have achieved without your help. Thank you all so much. You were always so efficient, knew exactly what we needed to do, when and how to do it, taking all the worry out of the form filling in. Sally was always there for advice and support. We were amazed when we heard our application for residence had been approved on the 29th of May 2001, taking only 5 months from our first meeting with you. Over here the Kindergarten Association couldn’t believe that I had arrived with my qualifications already assessed and full teacher registration hence I could start work immediately. Again this was all down to you.

 

Thank all for helping us to achieve our dream.
