A number of you are aware that I spent 24 days this June travelling around New Zealand with the aim of getting an overall impression of the country and, specifically, it's agriculture. We (@Mrs Holwell and I) are very interested in emmigrating to farm in New Zealand after June 2022 seeking a better quality of life than we have here. This trip (along with a future trip by Mrs Holwell) was designed to help us better understand the country and begin to narrow down where we could settle and what we could farm there.
This thread will take the form of a series of posts covering where I travelled and what I did, illustrated by photographs and web links, followed by my personal observations on various aspects of New Zealand.
I must begin by offering huge thanks to @JD-Kid , @devonshirekiwi , @FonterraFarmer , @stewart and @Kiwi Pete for hosting me magnificently in their various ways and sharing their insights into NZ. I'm sure that some of what I post will contain misunderstandings and errors of understanding and I urge them and other Kiwi's reading this to correct me or chip in with further insights.
I hope this thread proves interesting to a few TFF folk along the way.
