The flat has the most incredible view as we are about 10 feet from the sea and looking straight across the gulf to the City centre - at night it is like fairyland! It is a small 1 bed apartment but we have discovered the sofa is actually a sofa bed so we can have folk to stay.
Well it is now a couple of weeks later - time is just flying here! Still missing Papamoa, Tauranga, Te Puke, the beach and of course all our lovely friends down there.
We are both settling well Malcolm is much busier at work and the office is very friendly and Shona is getting sorted with volunteering at the Hospice Op (Charity) shop in Takapuna and sending of the forms for volunteering at the Maritime museum, hopefully heling crew a heritage Scow sailing ship called the Ted Ashby - they were a type of ship built to bring the huge Kauri logs down from the Northland.
The flat is lovely and just a short walk to Devonport town/village, which is very 'Knutsford' in style, although less pubs and more coffee shops! Here are a few views of the flat. I'll show you Devonport in another blog - I want to get it on a day when the sun is shining - it has been a bit grey skied here I have to admit! Spring weather is often like this I'm told!
As you can see we are right next to the sea and a wee park with beautiful Pohutikawa trees, which will be glorious over Christmas covered in red flowers.
