Wow, that's an interesting perspective, coming from a Kiwi
Perhaps I missed it, but what part of the UK have you been living in? And what made you move away from NZ in the first place?
We hear about a lot of Kiwis who, for one reason or another, move away then return - although not many after 31 years
I've no doubt you will see huge changes in the country (maybe not all good either

), but I hope your longing for your home country turns out to be justified and right for you
It sure is a beautiful place and we have no regrets about moving here, having spent 30-odd years in the UK myself!
Welcome to the forum anyway
