First blog from New Zealand

We've been back in NZ for nearly 3 months now, and we're settled in nicely, thank you.  There are times when I do miss home, especially now that Spring must be there, that was always my favourite time of the year, and I do hope I get to see it again.  There are a few things that I'm glad to see the back of, and they are going to be the subject of this blog, especially since I can't get threatened with the sack any more for saying them, as I've left already.  I'm sure those of you who know me know  I'm talking about, and I'm not going to pull any punches any more.
