Thanks for that Rachel - makes me feel not completely barmy, and oh, if I had the wherewithal to attract a toyboy too...Yes I did investigate NZ, and whereas it is spectacularly lovely, there were downsides that mean it doesn't really light my fire. Specifically, it felt phsyically small, culturally narrow - extremely Brit-dominated - not as prosperous as Australia, wet, cool and no IKEA. There are bits - the Coromandel peninsula for one - where I could happily settle and raise bees or something, given the chance, but I dunno, I just prefer the huge, ancient half-empty wilderness of Australia to the more familiar-seeming landscapes of NZ.
