Sir Jim Wattie was a great employer in Hastings,beloved by his staff.Also a man of the Turf who owned the Melbourne Cup winner,”Even Stevens”.(1962).Wattie made some of his original shareholders very comfortable,thank you ,thru massive expansion and successful product.”it must be Watties......”
My partner is Scottish and it took him a while to understand "yeah nah" thought we kiwis were crazy till one day l caught him saying it. He was mortified.... one of us now😅 Great to see you both, always worth the watch😊
There is a spiritual truth..'What you see, is what you are...the crow sees the dead and dying things in the garden, while the butterfly sees the flowers.' Keep highlighting the positive and this will bless all of us. You have been brought here, to the land of new zeal. While many worldly folks are fleeing to Aus, the spiritual one are finding their peace here. Go well.
In NZ we describe ourselves by what we do..as an electrician,builder or plasterer rather than using the foreign concept of being a 'class of "tradies".
Originally from Stoke-on-Trent but came here as a kid. I do have a fixation with weather and wind but so far have spent 25 years out of 51 living on boats. Wind gives me free power and I haven’t had a power bill for over 18 years. Also was self sufficient during the cyclone here in HB. Am on call for marine rescue also so need to keep a handle on the weather and as a pilot also have more than a passing interest, just thought it was normal. I do note on some USA videos, that it can be so still which seems odd to me but I am in a different situation. As a dual tradie, when people find out, they can be super quick for a favour for them. Stopped being open for that as it feels I got taken advantage of that but still do my rescue volunteer work to put into society.
Thank you so very much for sharing with us, this is so interesting! I can see why you would love the wind! Have a great week and thank you again for being with us and for taking the time to say hi! 💨😊⛵️⛵️
Hi Liz, I have been rereading your book recently and the laughs out loud were still there in the second reading. You are a nui kaikorero korero (a great story teller) you make me harikoa (joyous) when I listen to your words in all of your momo toi (art forms). I hope you are filling yourself with the strength of your maunga and whanau . Take care my friend. Happy Matariki. Arohanui Tracy
Oh, Tracy...that means the world to me. Thank you! You are such a kind, warm and generous person. The words you write always bring me such comfort and after I have read them I feel as though I have had a big hug. I wanted you to know that ❤️ Liz xx
You know you’re a converted kiwi when you share from the heart and every message you put out to the world provides the warmth and generosity of you. We share one breath!! Thank you Liz.
Whenever I feel ‘flat’ I always go to the beach. It soothes my soul and makes me feel better. If I wasn’t able to access a beach I wouldn’t know what to do in order to get some peace. Love you guys and blessings to you both xx
So true about nature, travelling to 5 countries recently noticed that moving from one country in the city to another country in nature my whole body relaxed dramatically. It focuses for me how lucky I am to live in NZ. In NZ, even if one lives in the city, it is not that far to have access to nature.
I have lived in Australia for 45 years after growing up in NZ. After about 30 years I gradually stopped buying Watties Baked Beans (because they were getting harder to find), and now buy Heinz, but I am still partial to Watties. You mind find that in the UK the temperature people heat their rooms to has gone down a little, as every degree hotter costs money.
Oooh Liz and Brian, this vlog had us in stitches! Thank you for the laughs. I feel like I'm almost a converyed Kiwi 😜😂😂...in Canada! 😂 We're thrilled to see you both back in your element, laughing and joking together. God bless you, beautiful couple.🙏 Aaaand (in true Kiwi style😜), the view behind you is absolutely stunning. This is winter in NZ? Love it! 💕Lots of love to both of you.💖
Speaking of weather, I'm spending this year in the Lake District, here there's only two types of weather, raining or pissing it down! Just wind sounds like a blessing.
Yep it's only watties. The nz one Brian. Although it's not the same as it once was and it's changed again recently as it's become very thin and watery. We usually call fries chips and crisps chippies. I like others just handle the cold as it's only a few hours and you're off to bed where it's warm and the winter cold really only lasts a couple of months. Layer up handle it and carry on. Take care Liz. Arohanui
Putting that one on the list for next time ;) Haven't found anything i didn't like from kiwi quisine ... Didn't try some of the fishy stuff yet though :D Cheers.
I think it is a NZ thing to be weather obsessed wherever we are in NZ because of the wind😂 Tend not to think about it as guess use to it. Overseas visitors often remind me how windy NZ is.
hi guys love watching your vids ,so funny to watch you having a laugh on diff matters anyhow... if the wind that you have there now blowing in the beautiful background of you is a problem then you would be glad you weren't down here in southland for the summer all we got for most of the time was strong wing and rain , looks like you also have a spa pool down in the field as well , i just love the view you have there its so beautiful .....envious , your so right Brian we do love the outdoor connection thing ,im in a flat so i dont have a backyard but i wish i had a view like you guys have because sitting outside in the sun or at nigh is great , its that feel alive vibe you get when yor in the bush or out at a beach/river or in nature itself feeling
What a beautiful comment, thank you, our friend. It is so very, very true, being outside in nature is priceless. The absolute best. We love that we are able to bring a little of the outside to you. Thank you again, Liz and Brian xx
Heinz own Watties which was founded in Hawkes Bay by James Wattie. Technically ketchup is Indonesian soy sauce, chips are Belgium fries and deep fried battered fish is from Portugal.
Considering I remember summers when the high rarely got above 20, I always thought of 16 degrees being t-shirt and shorts weather. Not so much now, as winter has been really warm compared to other years, but still. I appreciate the difference from England, having lived in London for 8 years, living in well insulated houses there. Living in an uninsulated house in NZ, you really notice the difference. And I still prefer heinz ketchup, but I started finding myself recently liking Watties tomato sauce as much as henz ketchup. Don't know why we tended to get heinz when I was growing up other than maybe because my parents are english and still liked the heinz. I must be getting soft in my old age for liking watties tomato sauce. I still call them just chips, and rely on context to tell if the are like english crisps or chips from a fish and chip shop. And NZ fish and chips are still better than London fish and chips. I missed the feeling of outdoors in NZ when in England, and looked forward to it whenever I visited. Now I'm back, I love the feeling espeically the native bird call, which I never used to hear in Whanganui, when I grew up here. The native plantings people have done changed that. I admit I was surprised when a tradie on the side of the road said a friendly Kia ora/hello to me, a complate stranger, that I rarely encountered in London. I still love listening to you guys, especially videos like this.
And we still love having you with us, James! I am so happy that your move back home has been smooth and we hope that you will continue to join us here on the podcast! Sending you much love my friend, Liz and Brian 🥰
@@ItsaDrama it at times is warmer. The South here is a lot colder at times than most people from up North would appreciate especially in land in areas like Central Otago where the frosts can be severe.
Liz,Brian - interesting! Some observations - we talk about the weather because every week somewhere a house is flooded, trees blown over, 8 metre waves, and a road washed away! Jeez - the weather makes up half the news - and of course we play the "telephone book game" - did you know Bert Smith - the cliff fell on his house, and did you hear about Mary - well the sea wall collapsed and washed her car out to sea! Everyone knows someone who has a weather incident! No wonder everyone talks about the weather. You are correct about tradies - if fact many more besides - - the bigger picture is that Kiwis are orientated towards "people persons" - they will talk to anyone - and offer advice,. commentary, well wishes etc. You cant buy a bottle of milk at the store without a conversation. Comes from being on an island I guess and self sufficient. (And the Māori influence on society).Best regards Mr G
Great insights, Mr G 🤩 I was going to also add another point...that all our friends down at the caf now only ever talk about hip/knee/shoulder replacements...🤪 🤩 Is this a kiwi thing or an age thing do ya think?? (bearing in mind I'm only 36??) We love you, Mr G! xx
@@ItsaDrama Well, my first thought is that you are mixing with older folks who are showing their age, or perhaps you stumbled across a bus outing of persons from a certain type of facility that caters for old people or those doing rehab? Of course the real Kiwi with hip / knee operations are probably re- living parents/grandparents experiences at Monte Cassino or Western Desert and without the dastardly and unfriendly Hun shooting at them the nearest substitute for a genuine war wound is a knee/hip op. Perhaps they need to tell stories of nurses, physios and doctors. Endless possibilities (including tomato sauce blood substitute.) But on balance I dont think they are old school Kiwis - they would rather crawl over broken glass they admit pain - too darn stoic for there own good.
So great to see the “normal banter” back again - you make me smile - but how can you complain re 12 degrees - that is summer in Scotland🤷♂️. As you know we spend summers in Italy and ketchup does not really exist as you make your own salsa from fresh tomatoes
You know when you're not quite a converted Kiwi and actually still a pom is when you call your backyard a "garden" Liz.😂 Watties comes from it's creator James Wattie. It was Wattie's but the ' fell off some time ago. And nothing tastes better.
Oh, David...I don't think I'll ever say yard! We grew up in the North of England where a "yard" is a a few slabs of manky concrete slabs and maybe a tin bin if you're posh...no way am I calling my garden that 🤣🤣🥝🥝🇬🇧🇬🇧
Brian: "It's cheaper..." There's a good Kiwi saying right there. Don't you dare pay full price! Better to say 'Airnd' than 'Uuhnd' (the two North Island acksints). I can't eat Watties' sauce. Whitlock's for me! Sugar content Liz, Watties is too sweet. Wear your dressing gown and slippers inside Brian, fingerless gloves and a hat are optional. Always have the kettle on for tea. In a Napier/Hastings winter, people light their fires and it smells like burning paint or plastic outside. It's awful when you are out starwatching and you and your clothes smell like burning nappies. Choose your time to go and enjoy nature safely! The car racers of HB are still at it. SMH
I’m a born here nzder, never liked watties. It’s sugar filled crap. Never had Heinz either it’s Whitlocks tomato chutney all the way peasants 😂😂😂😂 jokes
My English ancestors came out to NZ from Oxfordshire in 1839, from somerset in 1859, from Staffordshire in 1876, and from Durham in 1863 but I'm not sure what the kiwis talked about then. maybe probably Kiwiness was still a work in progress eh. I know that whoever came out from England AFTER an earlier English migrant was called a new chum and was teased mercilessly for being green and being 'fresh off the boat' even if the earlier migrant had only arrived in NZ ten years (or even two years) earlier.

Take care guys. Happy (Belated) Solstice!
Summer is on the way.
Sir Jim Wattie was a great employer in Hastings,beloved by his staff.Also a man of the Turf who owned the Melbourne Cup winner,”Even Stevens”.(1962).Wattie made some of his original shareholders very comfortable,thank you ,thru massive expansion and successful product.”it must be Watties......”
Thanks for the info, Stephen! Great stuff! 😃
Watties were set up by the Americans in World War 2 to produce food in cans for their troops..
My partner is Scottish and it took him a while to understand "yeah nah" thought we kiwis were crazy till one day l caught him saying it. He was mortified.... one of us now😅 Great to see you both, always worth the watch😊
I am from South Africa and we say "ja nee" which the same thing . So that was never strange to me
..loads of flies loads of wind....no worries! The wind blows the flies away🌀🦟
Thank you for sharing, Johanna! It's always lovely to see your name 🥰
There is a spiritual truth..'What you see, is what you are...the crow sees the dead and dying things in the garden, while the butterfly sees the flowers.' Keep highlighting the positive and this will bless all of us. You have been brought here, to the land of new zeal. While many worldly folks are fleeing to Aus, the spiritual one are finding their peace here. Go well.
I love this, Craig. How true and very beautiful. Thank you. ❤️
I feel like this is the most I've heard u both laughing. It's bringing me out of my slump & making me smile. Thank u ❤
We are so happy to hear this, Mel! Happy weekend and thank you for being with us ❤️

Taranaki, and especially Wellington, are very windy.
Just put another 'jumper' on :D we grew up with that when you said it was cold.
🤣 Yup! Me too! 🤣
We are always talking about the wind in The Bay of Islands
It's no joke, how many knots, direction, when it's going to settle
YES!! It's not just us then?? 🤣💨💨

Have a great week and thank you for being with us, Roy! 😃
Imagine waking up ever morning with that stratovolcano in your backyard? Kapai Taranaki!
It really is very divine and lovely, Stephen...in every way possible ❤️
That brollie in the background looks like it's about to lift off, bloody wind!
RIGHTTTTT????? 🤣💨
Tomato Sauce with all that nutmeg? Bleah. Heinz Ketchup only. (Brought up in Lower Hutt.)
Wattie is the surname of the family that established the company.
Thank you for sharing! 😃
I am from the far South and if my Wife didn't have the heat on (log burner) we would be down to 2 or 3 Celsius in the house in the Winter honesty.

Is it a trick question, Frank?? What do we get if we say the right thing??? 🤣

Watties is yuck - Find the All Gold Tomato Sauce in the International Section (South African) at your local Woolworths or Pak 'n Save.
Hiii
Hiii! 😃
I moved from NZ to Canada in 1988 and swore I would never eat ketchup. Now when I come back to NZ I must have ketchup, not Watties Tomato Sauce.
Is that a possum scarf?? Suits you!
Thank you, Carolyn, I got it in Napier (it's not real but I love the colour!)

Watties tomato sauce has always tasted like tomato flavoured battery acid to me , any other brand is much better IMO.
but no more chocolate fish - NZ will never be the same
I know, Lin!!! The kids used to love getting those in the fish shop! Hope you are well my friend, have a great week! ☺️ Liz x
Brian: "It's cheaper..."
There's a good Kiwi saying right there. Don't you dare pay full price!
Better to say 'Airnd' than 'Uuhnd' (the two North Island acksints).
I can't eat Watties' sauce. Whitlock's for me! Sugar content Liz, Watties is too sweet.
Wear your dressing gown and slippers inside Brian, fingerless gloves and a hat are optional. Always have the kettle on for tea.
