My First Home

Over my lifetime I have lived in many houses at several locations in New Zealand. In fact the longest period of time I have lived in any house is the house I currently live in - around 14 years. Overall I estimate I have lived in about 17 different houses at six locations.

This photo is of the house I first lived in. Guppy Road Greenmeadows clearly provided a lot of scope for landscaping, and my father is at the front of the house giving it a good go. I was to young to remember anything about living in this house, but it was a starting point.

Each house I have lived in has had it's own character and history. They have become markers for different stages of my life. I wonder if that would have happened if I had lived in one or two houses over the course of my lifetime?
