I will not be held responsible for my reaction if one more person says to me 'New Zealand? Ooo perhaps you'll meet a man out there!'. Because clearly I have no other option than to move continents as I have dried up the spring of potential in the whole of Europe? How rude. And because clearly the only thing on my mind must be husband-hunting? Living in another country. and more specifically NZ since I went there and found how great it was, has been planned in my head generally for about 10 years and more clearly for about 4. I have bigger plans for my life and I am certainly not waiting for it start. Thank you.
And one more thing, yes I am planning on coming back. I have 12 months off work and a moral duty to go back as Natalie has been extremely good about me taking the time off when some significant stuff needs to be done. However, if Gill (who is already in my team and hopefully
taking over) proves to be good at it and enjoys it, that certainly gives me more leeway. But HELL I DON"T KNOW!! It's freaking months away. Please let me get there before I think about coming back again.
Rant over. 115 days.

Ha ha ha ha haaaaaa! Said in the way of one who really understands your second point and finds the first one very amusing too. Poor Ruth. I can't say that people will stop doing these things (we don't quite get daily emails asking us why/if we are coming home...) but hopefully you'll find them less irritating soon...
love ya!

It's gonna make me giggle if you do find a handsome fella over here! Then have lots of little Kiwi babies and NEVER come home!
If it's any consolation, once you get here you'll be bombarded daily by the question 'so where in England are you from?' which is actually not a question - it's a precursor to a long story about how they have spent two years living in London (during which time they met approximately two actual English people since they lived and worked with Kiwis and Aussies!).
I'll keep my eye out for that handsome husband of yours though. He must be round here somewhere! :-)
Ah, but I will be so good at your job that you won't have one to come back to. Mwahhh haaa haaaaa!!!!
