My Lord, The Chavs Are Coming!

Michael received the most hilarious card for his birthday, it is something which we have joked about for so long now, joked in the fact we haven't seen one in over 13 months.

Well that was until today - there was one in Te Papa. Unmistakable fake Burberry cap, tracksuit, swagger and cigarette behind the ear made today our first official chav spotting day!

About Us

We are Michael, Marrisa, and Bethany Dawes, a family of 3 from the UK who emigrated to New Zealand in 2006. Denver is our SPCA 'lucky dip' pup, the newest member of the Dawes family.

Taking New Zealand by storm we have been engulfed with excitement, laughed with joy and cried in pain whilst all in the search of a better life. We can now honestly say we have found it!

Join us in our new life, see what it is really like to move your whole world and still keep your sanity!

Want to get in touch? We would love to hear from you!
