Hi Isabelle you probably remember me from my blog so I will just get straight into it. I actually live in the Waikato region and it is amazing with views. Have you ever lived there?
ReplyDeleteHey!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting! But no, I have not ever lived in the Waikato region. I have only ever lived in 2 houses, which are only a few blocks away from each other. And I gather you are pretty familiar with the Waikato River?
Hey!
DeleteNo the river is like literally an amazing view but I do not know a lot about it. I have lived in the Waikato region all my life except when I moved to the BOP area. I liked my house over near Kawerau which is near Whakatane.
