Six months ago, we sold our inner-city home and moved to a 16 acre lifestyle block in Otaki, in the shadow of the Tararua Ranges.
Were we mad? Quite possibly. But we always wanted some land, to live with more grass than asphalt, far from annoyingly noisy neighbours. So we did. And we bloody love it.
I wrote about our new home town in the May issue of North & South Magazine. And for my efforts got my pic in the front bit of the mag (I hate having my photo taken, so persuaded the neighbour's cows to join me). Link to story here.
