[QUOTE="janie, post: 251975, member: 2982"] Hi again, It was lovely to read your responses, and thank you for the offers - I will definitely take you up on them when I get to travel :) I have a spare room which is available for anyone from the CD board to stay in when you are visiting NZ. My home is just a modest home - but has a very welcoming feel to it :) I live in a smallish settlement (maybe 10,000 people over a fairly decent area)) the pace of life is quite slow, especially compared to Wellington City (and Wellington would be considered a tiny city compared to major cities around the world ... it only has 300,000 people) Alex (23 yr old difficult child) moved back for the Summer holidays (University break of nearly 4 months), he couldn't get over how QUIET it is here ... but he really loves the fact that we have a big private tree-filled garden - and he feels very peaceful here. When he needs time in the City he just goes to stay with friends for a couple of days in Wellington. Alex is on a bit of a road-trip going around the South Island at the moment (using my car since I can't drive for a few weeks post-surgery), he is enjoying the scenery, but they had a cold-snap with a very cold Southerly (remember we are in the Southern Hemisphere), I had to post his thermal underwear down to him, but then this week they have had really hot days. I must admit I am quite enjoying having the house to myself (while he is away) - it was a bit of a culture shock having my darling difficult child back at home for the Summer after a 5 year break (he has lived in Wellington attending Uni) ..... I had forgotten the whole "Centre Of the Universe Disorder" thing could still be alive and kicking even though he has matured GREATLY in the 5 years .... I know a fair few of you can relate to living with darlings with COUD .... giggles :) Have a great weekend everyone. [/QUOTE]
