Meeting a future neighbour in NewZealand

In 2001 my partner Claire Hagon and I (Paul Knight) were travelling around the World we spent about 8 weeks in New Zealand in March 2001. We stayed at a guest house in Nelson in the South Island. It was called Short Bread Cottage. We met another couple there of a similar age. We were about 31 at the time. They had taken 3 months off work to cycle around New Zealand. I remember gently teasing him. He talked about wanting to build his own house one day. She had red hair. We had a pleasent evening and that was it. We returned from travelling in October 2001 with Claire being pregnant. We moved to Windsor in Berkshire where we had previously both lived before we went away. We then could not avoid to buy a big enough house for us once we had a second child so moved to Caversham an area of Reading into a victorian terrace in 2003. We had our 2nd child and a some up our road had a babay about the same time she noticed that two other women had babies od a similar age so organised for them to meet up. they got on and eventually the boys were involved in an evening together. I sort of recognised one of the men more through his manerisuims. After some conversation we realised that he and his wife were the couple we had met in New Zealand all that time ago and now lived a few days away. I have always been a bit freaked by the consquence but thought there must be a good reason why. Cheers Paul
