It is the time of the year: Christmas with the all those awful songs, present hunting, tree decorating, cookie baking and drinks...but it is still very hard to get in the mood with 25 degrees. No more homemade cookies made by Esther's mum, so she is forced to make them herself. They turned out rather nice :-)No turkey or ham this year, but a BBQ, doesn't sound too bad, does it?
We bought ourselves a nice HUGE Christmas present. It is a great lifestyle plot (no house) just south of the village Cust, about 30 minutes drive from Christchurch. Well, the "huge factor" is of course based on the size of the plot: 4 hectares... can you believe that??2009 will be focused on building our own house, or to be precise: having it build.
Search for "257 Earlys road, Cust, NZ" in Google Maps.
Since a couple weeks Streetview is available for many roads in NZ. It's great to wander around a have sort of a live look at so many places. Unfortunately is was cloudy when they took the pictures in Cust. To prove that we will have mountain views, I attached some pictures. :-)
Have a great Christmas!!

Hi Esther and George,
Fantastisch te zien hoe jullie je na 1 jaar in NZ hebben gesettled. Ben echt onder de indruk! Denk nog wel eens terug aan onze windy and sunny days in Wellington november 2007.
Hoop dat het bouwen van het huis op jullie plot ook een succes zal worden. Ik hoop ooit nog eens te komen kijken.
Al het goede ook van Ruud, Duco
The hens are running! They know what's coming! Great news guys. Amazing project building your own house. Enjoy the process and look forward to seeing it develop!!
