Two Years in Thames

Shopping Mile in Thames - not exceedingly beautiful, but well prepared for all kinds of weather conditions
This is my walkway to work in Thames

A garden scene, featuring three of our boys (with friends in the background)

One of the lovlier pubs in Thames: The Brew

In The Brew - with friends
By the way - exactly one week ago it have been two years since we arrived in New Zealand and I believe today it is two years that we arrived in Thames. What have we found? A new home within a quiet and beautiful country, overall pleasant weather, new input to our journey with God, new valuable friendships. What do we miss? Not much really, but the distance to our old friends, and even more to our relatives in Europe is sometimes hard to take...
Yes, Thames has become a home for us... A home away from home.
Our plans? Flick us an email, and we'll tell you our actual plans - they may vary from day to day...
