Three letters that span the 2 years of emigration to NZ

'Letter to NZ' was a thankyou written after my 3 week visit to NZ in January 1988. Through parental contacts, I stayed with a lady who both hosted me in Palmerston North and arranged for me to stay with her sister and brother in Wellington and Christchurch.

In May 1989 we arrived in NZ, and the 'letter to Andy' was written in September that year to a friend in the UK.

'Going Forward - Looking Back' was written as a very long letter to my parents during the weeks either side of Christmas 1990. The prequel version has some additional explanatory notes about people and places.
