My son-in-law, who was Master on the Interislander ferries between North and South Island in New Zealand, has been appointed harbourmaster/pilot of Nelson harbour. They have sold their first house at a good profit and they have bought a wonderful house with five acres of land in a beautiful area about 20 mins from the harbour. My daughter will be able to realise her dream of having horses and there will be room for an elderly relative! I can't wait to see the house in December.
Some of you may remember Lara, their daughter, who won the Love Story competition , with a little help from my friends ! She has now graduated from nursing college and is trying to decide which hospital will be best for her career, but if she chooses Nelson it will mean living away from Sam for a time. He wants to stay in Nelson for a year, as the company he works for as a manager of a large gym is paying for him to take a management course. She sold the new car that she won in another competition and once she starts earning they will soon have enough for a deposit on their first house. They are still only 21!
When they emigrated, they had plenty of people telling them they were mad- well, sucks to them, the whole family is very happy, and so am I
