It's hard to believe it's been one year since we arrived in this country. But on September 5, 2015 just before 6am we touched down at London Heathrow to start our new lives here.

What a year it has been! In the last 12 months we've...

• Both landed jobs

• Moved flats twice

• Had countless brunches and coffees

• Met plenty of new family members

• Caught up with plenty of visitors from home including family

• Welcomed a bunch of new immigrants from NZ

• Been to a Rugby World Cup match

• Walked through Seven Sisters Country Park

• Did a Christmas Lights Bus Tour

• Spent Christmas in a cabin in the middle of a Slovakian forest

• Walked around Vienna for a day

• Gone to Ikea... multiple times

• Did the Waitangi Day Pub Crawl

• Spent a weekend in Brussels, and the rest of the week in Bruges

• Sang in Exeter Cathedral

• Holidayed in Nice for a long weekend

• Visited Portsmouth (and did a bit of outlet shopping too)

• Watched many All Blacks games at a ridiculously early hour of the morning

• Meandered around Kew Gardens

• Saw Elton John live in concert

• Visited France and Italy to see England play in Euro 2016

• Saw the NZ Youth Choir (multiple times in Rebecca's case)

• Punted in Oxford

• Ate oysters on the beach in Brighton

• Watched the changing of the guard... again

• Walked around a number of villages around the country

• Visited home

And that's just what I can easily find in my Facebook feed! It has truly been an exciting year over here, and I know there's plenty more to come. Bring on year two!
