Kath and Pete Douglas in the UK

We came over in 2000 to work and travel around Europe.
This site is to show our Photos and some of our experiences to all who may be interested. To all our friends in NZ or the UK - Hi! and why not send a photo or an email on what you are up to - we will put Photos up on the site so all can see.

We came from Christchurch in the South Island of New Zealand / Aotearoa (meaning ‘Land of the Long White Cloud’) and we are now living in Milton Keynes, UK. Christchurch lies on the east coast between the sandy beaches of Sumner and Brighton, the bays and bush clad valleys of Banks Peninsular and the river-braided patchwork of the Canterbury Plains, which stretch westwards towards the tallest mountains in New Zealand, the Southern Alps. Lord of the Rings country!

Milton Keynes where we now live is a "New" town about 60 miles north of London just off the M1 motorway. Milton Keynes is the name of one of the villages that were in the original designated area of the new "city" of Milton Keynes. This had the name Mideltone (middletown) in the Domesday Book and by 1422 the name of Kaynes had been added after the feudal family name Cahaignes.

Kath works for a company based in MK that supplies Point of Sales equipment services to the Hospitality industry, Services (petrol stations with restaurants and shopping) and is an Admin person at their main office.

Pete has been with a Computer company that refurbishes and re-sells ex-lease IT Equipment, processes the same for Leasing companies and re-cycles that which is no longer of any use.

A home has to have a Cat and Marshall Douglas has taken over. He's a Cat's Protection puss who didn't have a home but now as far he is concerned we are his slaves and are there to do his bidding. White with Black Spots and an attitude, he has taken over the neighbourhood, beating up the other cats and being a right bully.But still he is a character and shows affection (or is that a "feed me" message) See photos in his section.
