perfect timing
today we were looking at houses in sefton ashley,loburn ect.
alot is said about the amount of traffic coming in from the south to town,but and it is only my view .i travel in from rangiora as my firm is based there i have travelled in at 7 to 11 and every time in between and have never stopped for more than a few seconds there is traffic and it is bad for kiwis and soon enougth i will probably moan about it too ,but a work mate of mine is from rolleston and i sometimes start the day from his side of town and find it much worse coming in because that side on the edge of town is much more industrilisied(if there is such a word)
another sometimes negitive thing that is said about north canterbury is the amount of poms (mostly said by other poms)someone once quoted about 30% in some areas (i dont think there was that many where i lived in england)but they are like minded hence wanting the same life as you and can be quite helpfull with the process.
a welsh lad from work has been fab for us (imagine his discust being called a pom)
we are staying in a batch at the mo which dose not have a phone line so not getting much chance to post,although it dose allow our dogs and has a great forest behind us then the beach.
hope to be more help when we find somwhere more perminant
