New Year, New Air New Zealand Safety Video, with a Bear……

I’ve spoken before about the fabulous job Air New Zealand does with their “Bare Essentials of Safety” safety videos, you know… ones like this one and the ones included in this post here….

Well its 2013 now and time for a new one, starring none other than Bear Grylls. Well worth a watch before you board.

And just in case you can’t find one of the earlier versions…here you go above.

Dreamed of living in Monaco…

Jan 2nd, 2013

If you happened to live in Nelson’s seaside suburb of Monaco, then this sort of…

….activity is right on your back doorstep.

As a consequence the pricing of properties in this “enclave” is right up there, in terms of Nelson property values.

Just sometimes though…..the thoroughly typical Nelson sunshine can be replaced by other things, like…

….dark skies.

Plenty more photos over at Nelsonians Life….just type “MONACO” (less the quote symbols)  in the search box there here.

Further info – MONACO, STOKE, NELSON

Is Nelson Unique in New Zealand?

December 4th, 2012

Check out this chart that I have “borrowed” from the NZ Property Investors Association national magazine…

…and then tell me what you think? (Like all my pics, click on it it for higher res image – its easier to read for “boomers” like me.)

The stats come from Statistics NZ, but thanks to the NZ Property Investors Mag I don’t have to go there and compile them tonight.

Like usual though….if you wanna know more, or more importantly, want to know how to interept these stats in the context of our Dec 2012 Nelson real estate market.. …you know who to call.
