I didn’t realize how kiwis can be with regard to hugs etc. I am married to a kiwi so I have been fortunate to be adopted as a kiwi and kissed and hugged for quite some time. Thanks for sharing these stories because it makes me thankful for what I have. I don’t ever want to take it for granted.
What a beautiful patch of paradise - love the photo bombing Bumblebee 24:19 - brilliant content - very easy listening - I absolutely love you guys!! All the best for your book from Diamond Harbour NZ.
What a truly lovely comment. I want you to know that it means such a lot to us. Thank you! PS: And I just looked up Diamond Harbour...wow! What a stunning place...that's on the list of places to visit! Thank you again 🥰
Oamaru (where some of my ancestors settled in 1884) is a town - it doesn’t have a cathedral. The population is only about 11K, but those old buildings show how wealthy the South was from agriculture and horticulture. The first shipments of meat from NZ to the UK (starting in 1882) originated from Totara Estate, near Oamaru, and the area exported 100s of thousands of beef carcasses back to the UK.
There’s something about English people that when they talk they bring a smile to your face. Like yourselves. I also like a TH-camr called Curls he’s so lovely. Great story tellers ❤
It's not aggressive, it's just Brian 😜! Another fun video by two great people - love the stories! A glassy, classy story! Your book is so much fun! LOL, I will tell Suzey not to go with the orange hair lol!! Happy New Zealand arrival anniversary!
Always a pleasure listening to the two of you. What a beautiful view you have there. I’m sure most people will love your book when they read it. I enjoyed it, and looking forward to the audiobook too. That hairdresser was probably thinking this lady coming in here telling me what to do. 😂 your hair turned out beautiful
I use to live in New Plymouth for 18 years, to see the mountain and later the ocean magic. I watch your podcast in Adelaide although my wife and I are from outside Levin. Always enjoy you and your hubby humour . Both of us are Maori.
Thank you both so much for watching and for taking the time to say hi, we very much appreciate you 😊 Sending much love to Adelaide and thank you again for your kind words. Liz and Bri x
Liz and Brian I want to Thank you for this site.I bought myself a teapot and now having herbal tea.Whilst watching you both.Coming down your way AGAIN end of Oct🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Thank you so much for this lovely comment Violet, tea is the answer to everything isn't it?! There's nothing like a cup of herbal tea to soothe and relax you ❤️ Have a wonderful trip to the Naki, and thank you again for saying hi 😊 Liz and Brian x
I got stupid drunk in Palmy one night,ended up in someone's Rose Garden in New Plymouth the next morning,with some dude spraying me with the garden hose, saying " Time to get up mate".
As us Kiwis say "boring people live boring lives". If you are looking for a big city experience - well go to a big city - but every place has attractions for engaged people, and they go and find them. Mr G.
I saw the spanish team there, they even had a powhiri. Weather wasn't great. They probably were accommodated there so they could practice on a decent feild. The grass is called toitoi. I think the black sands in Raglan were exported overseas. If I see you when you're in Levin I'll give you both a hongi. The reason he asked you what do you see is because you were on his territory taking over, but did you see he was someone who knew what he was doing.
I guess Palmerston North is not Barcelona and it's not close to a nice beach, and I think John Cleese once visited and said Palmy is boring. You two always make me chuckle.
I totally agree with you Liz my husband who is a kiwi finds it very hard doing the touchy feely thing, even after 5 years living in Italy he still struggles when people he just meets here try to give him a hug and the both side cheek kiss 😅 he tells me tell them we dont do this in NZ. Keep at it Liz and we love watching you as both of us say all your observations are spot on. 😊
Hugging is a very Kiwi thing, some people must have very sheltered lives by the sound of it, or some kind of traumatic event that would make them back off from a hug.
I had someone come up to me in the supermarket today and told me that they were going to pull my pants up at the back. I said No, but they tried to anyway. The pants were already fully up but the top was lose as I had lost weight. Big deal if my knickers were slightly showing. What a cheek.
im sure that what it is......u sound like a very young version of my grandparents from kent.....(they passed now / transitioned how ever) kudos to you guys ...ill be home in a couple weeks......im excited but im not its a weird feeling ...im leaving 5 of my daughters here (ameri-kiwi) first generation
You have a beautiful garden, and the sunshine is magic. Nice to see and hear you guys again. I can tell you after being back in NZ for a bit over a month, I'm enjoying it. I forgot how much I like small town life in Whanganui.
@@ItsaDrama I did spend a week in hospital for newly diagnosed asthma, but it has a silver lining. I'm not in the UK and being taken care of by our wonderful free health care. Plus I'm with my friends and family
Hi L & B...... poor old Palmy cops it again! I went there once and didn't find it in the least bit weird....except for all the naked kitchen makers. I'm also looking forward to the football season Brian. The Championship kicks off tonight actually. C'mon you mighty Tractorboys. With regards to the Kiwis calling Rugby footie. It's because Rugby is a form of Football invented in the Midlands Town of Rugby. Rugby Football Union RFU. Can't wait for the World Cup..... the All Blacks are looking great ....anyway, must dash of to work.....laters
If you're of maori descent, is it also natural to adopt that 'kiwi' adage. After all, should l assume kiwi is a maori word. While I don't really care who adopts that adage... as a maori...l once asked my partner of European Irish descent whether or not she considered herself kiwi and (tongue in cheek) should she should be greatful to me for being considered kiwi if she so chooses to consider herself as 'kiwi'. Yes l am aware that it a term initially was a term used to describe New Zealand servicemen back in the day.
we all weird in NZ lol who wants to be normal much love KIWIS congatulations on the book. Agood kiwi phrase to remember is ,come on bro dont be like that
Palmerston North. Wind, rain, cafes. Zzz... Don't hug people; and don't plant a wet kiss on their cheek. Some people in NZ do this in greeting and it is cringey. It's not welcoming, it's enough to make someone want to run a mile. Personal space, you know? Same with touching people's shoulder when you say "Excuse me..." at somewhere like the supermarket... WTH do you think you are doing?
" A Kiwi " is a person born in NZ , some folk think you can move to NZ and then become " Kiwi " , haha, like everywhere else. Anyone can become a New Zealander. A lucky few are born Kiwi. try that in a small town. , move to Aus and tell em your an " Aussie " now . yeah righto lol
Lmao this guy just made that all up. Don’t let white people gatekeep our culture. Kiwi is a maori word and the story behind the kiwi bird is a noble one. At the End of the day if you call yourself a New Zealander you can call yourself a kiwi. Kia ora.
