Hi Laura & co and a very big welcome to our forum
Where are you originally from? Of course it's completely normal to have good days and bad days after such a big upheaval in your life - I've had many (and still do occasionally!). But what it all comes down to is where you feel most comfortable - I am proud to say I'm Welsh but I most certainly consider NZ to be my 'home'. We lived in Tauranga when we first came to NZ in November 2004 - we were in Ohauiti. We were only there for 3 months or so before we decided it wasn't for us and came across to Hamilton, but I do miss the beach!
Anyway, look forward to hearing your stories and advice and thanks for offering to share your experiences. You'll find we're a bit of a mad bunch but we're all ok really :rolleyes:
