It seemed I was the only Kiwi in the Forum. At first my casual questions about where in the world others were..had many cautious of replying. Suspicious of who I was and why I was asking. (it was simply a natural friendliness) So I backed off and in the end settled for the NZ at the end of my name (call it a shout out lol)
Resigned to never finding another Kiwi straightspouse Omg!....I just about fell off my chair when I saw another name with NZ attached.

Not wanting to intrude on someone's inbox 'out of the blue'...I thought it prudent to make it a public welcome to any New Zealand straightspouses.

Hello..oooo..!!..
