Five Years Ago....

Its amazing what five years can do isn’t it?

Let’s see where I was 5 years ago…

Well, 12th October 2000, was no ordinary day in itself. It was the day of the Sussex Floods. I woke up to find that the town center was under depths of water of up to five feet. Including the family business.

After a few months of hard work and an insurance claim of around 350,000 pounds we were back in business.

That December and January we went on our world trip.

Vancouver
Honolulu (Hawaii)
Auckland
Rotorua
Taupo
Whittianga
Adelaide
Sydney
Gold Coast
Kuala Lumpur

It was the holiday of a lifetime!!!

Then we got back and faced the Foot and Mouth epidemic.

Then not much happened

Until somebody offered to buy the business and we considered the option to move to New Zealand.
The ball was rolling, and after almost two years of medical and police record related dramas, associated with the dramas of selling a business we had our visas.

Two years ago I was two days from leaving my current school, as well as my 17th birthday.  That was a strange day, sad in some ways exciting in others.
On the 21st October, the leaving party!!
That November 14th 2003, we left the UK!!
We lived in Tauranga for a year and I went to Tauranga Boys
Now, I go to Victoria University of Wellington!
That was my last 5 years, in quick summary.
What’s in store for the next 5 years!!
