We are wanting to go to Paris for a weekend. Hubby has just obtained his ILR. I see that there are no charges for the visa, but which visa do we apply for? I know that he applies as a spouse of an eu citizen, but how do I go about applying for a visa that is at least a year long and allows one to travel to other Schengan countries? I have a BP.

Ta!

:am:

Beautiful unny: day here! :yes:

I am on holiday the last few days trying to catch up with myself after the busy last few weeks.

Enjoy your day! :jive:

Hello everyone at Globalbuzz. Haven't been around as much, been quite busy & yesterday I signed up for a new car - a Chevrolet Spark, a small car but it's supposed to be very economical I believe. I was originally on the look out for a 2nd hand car for my daughter who turns 18 soon but decided to treat myself & get a brand new one then she can use the other one although I'm sure she'll be wanting to ride around in the new one too. I should be getting the new car sometime next week so really looking forward to that.

Also if some of you remember I was wanting to upgrade from from Windows 98 to Windows XP which I have just done recently so very pleased about that so everything is going fine right now just wish I had more spare time on my hands.

Hope you are all keeping well & that everything is going fine for you all too.
Best wishes.

“A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God.” (Ecclesiastes 2:24). You will find true happiness when you break bread with those who are close to you. The cup of your life will run over with joy when you spend happy times with family and friends.

True joy of living awaits you on your doorstep each day. All you have to do is to make each time that you break bread or visit with friends and family a festive occasion. Treat everyone sharing your meal as a special guest. Each one has come into your life to lighten your burdens and to ease your way.

By the way, if you are far from your loved ones today, take a lesson from the early Christians. They reserved a seat for the living Lord at their communion table. Why don't you do that. Invite the Lord to be the Guest at your table, even if you're having a simple piece of bread only. There is no doubt that He will accept your invitation to celebrate with you! He is sure to free you from your feelings of loneliness today.

Remember: Heavenly joy is to be among those who are dear to you.

Life in New Zealand is a great experience for us after coming from the hustle and bustle of the “City of Gold” – Johannesburg.

Imagine a country where time seems to move at a slower pace than the rest of the world :am: . A country where work finishes at 5.00 pm and the weekend lasts from Friday afternoon until Monday morning. Imagine a country where people still have the time to chat and pass the time of day when they pass each other in the street. :thumbs:

New Zealand, with all due respect, is like South Africa many years ago. Less fast paced, more friendly, good services, good schools, not so commercialised and not so materialistic. The one major difference is the wooden structures, as opposed to brick houses in South Africa, which takes some getting used to ue: . Houses in Wellington are also smaller and often almost on top of each other, with a lack of privacy, compared to what we were used to. But that depends on where you rent/buy. We managed to find a very cosy place that borders the outskirts of the city, close to the bush area.

New Zealand is a country where you can still find a “grey” (volcanic sand) sandy beach with a crystal blue ocean urfing: and you're the only person in sight. We have found that you can be driving through spectacularly beautiful countryside less than an hour from being in the hustle and bustle of a major city like Wellington. When the weather is fine, we often picnic beside a mountain stream with majestic green hills behind us.

New Zealand offers one the opportunity to be close to streams, lakes and harbours that feature some of the best fishing in the world, and safe boating for everything from speedboats to ocean going yachts. Or mountains with breathtaking ski-fields or ancient forests with trees that are thousands of years old

For my family and me, it is a country that has the charm of yesterday with the excitement and opportunities of tomorrow. A country where we enjoy the luxuries and pleasures of 21st century Western civilisation at a pace that we lost many years ago. Hard to imagine?

New Zealand is a sport loving nation, and aside from the obvious passion for Rugby there are a wide range of other sports that can be enjoyed. You probably know that Rugby is a very big part of the Kiwi lifestyle, February to November NZ stops most Saturday nights for The Game which is played at venues in most major centres with live coverage on Sky TV. A Kiwi ritual, I am learning about, is gathering at pubs and watching the game on the big TVs that a lot of pubs have, and the atmosphere can be brilliant. :celeb:
One thing that really differentiates Rugby from Soccer is how the crowd behaves. Even when arch rivals meet (the archest of rivals are Canterbury and Auckland or vs. any Australian team) there is a lot of light hearted abuse but the two teams supporters will usually drink a toast to the victors together with violence and aggression completely unheard of. After a game the only thing the Police need to do is direct traffic, so you can enjoy a game in complete safety.

We hope you enjoy the write up of “Life in the Land of the Long White Cloud” and hope you will choose this “majestic” place as one of your holiday destinations.

and why not, a male nanny does just as well superbly if not better than a female nanny, if i had the bucks and a small child i would settle for a manny..... :thumbs: :thumbs:
