The Meeting of the Bloggers



It is a very small world.

Before we moved to New Zealand, we did heaps of research including reading internet forums where ex-pats discussed the finer details of moving to New Zealand. We also read a handful of blogs, mostly by UK ex-pats to get an even more personal perpective on settling here. This fast became one of my favorite blogs for many reasons- Lindsay is a fantastic writer (and she makes me laugh!) and it was also one of the few American ex-pat blogs that I could find. And she is really good at keeping up with her blog (unlike me!).

Flash forward to April this year. I was teaching a class and I met an American woman who looked kinda familiar to me. Turns out it was Lindsay. I told her "I read your blog!" and I rattled off some details of some of her more recent posts. And she said "That's creepy.....".

Anyway, we have since met Gareth and Mr Quinn and have gotten to spend some time together over the last few months. Here are some pictures of a recent outing:




P.S. One of these days we will get around to writing our 1 year anniversary post. We have just moved house and are settling in so for now, this will have to do.
