Goodwin-Barker family update

After the trial week, the family stayed in New Zealand for a few more weeks and toured the North Island.Β  Alan fell in love with the country even more, especially Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty, and he was keen for the family to move there instead of Auckland as the house prices and lifestyle were more favourable.Β 

So within two weeks of arriving back in the UK their house went up for sale and sold for full asking price within 16 hours of the marketing starting!Β  Also, within 2 months, Alan, Samantha and Georgina had their residency visa's in their hand ready to go.Β 

They are now living with family, their belongings packed ready to be shipped, waiting for Stef's degree to finish and her to graduate in May 2019. They fly out to their new life in Tauranga on May 27th!Β  The plan was to take Dexter with them, however, he sadly passed away in November 2018. Β  Β Β
