We lived in a small village in the UK, too small for a pub or shop.

On our reccie to NZ, we climbed a small hill in Nelson which proclaims itself as the 'centre of New Zealand'. At the top there was a British couple who we engaged in conversation and soon found they were also on a reccie, happened to be from our area, then that they used to live in our village, and finally that they had lived in the very house we had rented there before moving into our house.

Don't know where they are now, but definitely a small world!
