The 'new' farm.

So we had our second beautiful baby boy (Benjamin Roy Knight) in February and my mother and Graham came over from Aussie for 5 weeks to help us (which was fantastic).... with the help of a good friend Ang for the best part of a week (which was also fantastic.... but then we had to move house at the end of May. Not only did we move house but we moved to the center of the end of the South Island to a place called Opio. This is 7k's out of Nightcaps and about 30k's from Winton and approximately 45 mins to an hour from Invercargill (depending on how fast you drive!).

To move it took a 32 cubic meter Truck, a 4 wheel drive truck with a trailer and 3 cars.... as well as a whole day to get to the new place and unpack. It was a real mission! I think next time I will hire removal guys to do the job for us!

This is us unloading the 32 cubic meter truck at the new house. So lucky the weather was good!

Flynn and Nathan on Nathans new farm bike ready for some farm work!

One of the first sunrises at the new house! Amazing views for sunrises, just another "pro" for the new place!


The lounge from one end to another with no furniture in yet... its very spacious! (loving it!).



Hopefully this gives you an idea of what our new place is like! We love it and we love living here too! Its very rural but it works and we couldn't be happier.

Nathan is especially happy that there is a golf course 7k's down the road - Loads of pro's here to consider.... there are a couple of things I still miss though, like friends and family and then of course there is the shopping, but all in all its great here!
