Mount Roskill without a shadow of a doubt, and it was number 154!!

ok there is one in Blockhouse Bay, another in Lynfield and the third in Mount Roskill, any of them sound familiar?

I seem to recall another place name, maybe a suburb?, then Aukland 4, does that make sense? I loved the way her name just rolled off the tongue... she came to visit one summer, got a summer job in the uk working as a Nanny, and ended up about 40 miles away.

Had never heard of that Street so just looked it up Can't find a White Swan Drive, but there are 3 White Swan Roads in Auckland!

I think Welsh is the only mix I haven't found in my tree..... yet! Years ago my sister had a pen friend from Aukland, her name was Shelley Weatherley and she lived on White Swan Drive. I was about 12 at the time and thought that was the most beautiful street name I'd ever heard!

Well Wales and NZ have a lot in Common, Rugby is a religion and sheep are nervous, lol

lol Kaz. I'd quit while you were ahead if I were you... The funniest thing is, it was a Kiwi who said it to me!!!!!

not sure if i should be insulted or not. Trying to see some humour in it........ummm.....nope!

I meant bit too far as in having to consider even the Welsh as friends. Ooh lynched even higher!! Kaz

even the Welsh? Why what did we do? Well its a funny day weatherwise here. Its about 18c which is not too bad. First day of summer is nest week, and the forecast for the weekend is rain, rain and more rain! Cheers 'Melanie Welsh KIWI!

C'mon Brenda - that's going a bit too far!! lol!! (ooh hope I'm not going to get lynched for that!) Jealous of the snow Kaz :o))

Ah, but I have family born in Heworth too....... back in 1794 tho! As someone said to me years ago (in Michigan) 'This far away from home I bet you'd even consider the Welsh your friends!'

This little person is off to bed now, i have to be up for work in 5hours. But at least i got to say good morning first. lol. Shirley Ann.

Other side of the water Brenda!!! tho i swear not to hold it against you!!!! Karen Born in Heworth!!

Almost time to put the flannellete sheets on the bed! Romantic or what!

I could do with some of them fluffy earmuffs to sleep in, lol its so cold here too.

I like the time zone thing too, funny isn't it? Karen - where in the North East? I used to live in a little village between Durham and Chester le Street when I was a kid. 28 years later I still call Durham home. Brenda

And BRRRRRRR!!! from the North East of England!! Karen

Liz - think so, thanks for your advice and support, will sleep soundly tonight :-) xxx

It never fails to amaze me that people from different parts of the world are chatting as if in the next room, clever isn't it.
