It's nearly been a year since we were in Nelson looking around each area to see if we wanted to move there.When I first visited there in 1981 I was 10 years old - I had travelled down there by plane with my nana and grandad to see my aunt and cousins for a week. Back then the Nelson region was alot smaller than it is now - this time it had grown considerably and it was obvious that it was on it's way to becoming the next Auckland. Many people are moving out of the major cities to buy cheaper properties elsewhere around the country, however the average house price in Nelson is just about what you would pay in perhaps Wellington or Whangarei.
On the 2nd to last day of our time away we drove through Motueka and really liked it. It's just over 30 minutes out of Nelson and although there were quite a few shops and businesses there it had a sort of small town feel to it. As we drove through the main street of course I had my camera in hand so I could take any on the go photos and this one caught a few street decorations that were up here and there along with residents going about their daily lives.
Although we didn't end up moving there, B's sister and her family live there so we will definitely be going back at some point for a visit.

So is the north where you are now!
The scene looks like it could be the Main St in the nearby town here. The small towns are nice, the street decorations look pretty. Take care, have a happy new week!
Your weather seem pretty much like ours!
Happy Thursday!
It's great to see your link at 'My Corner of the World' this week!
