Series 12: 9. MacEwan



It had been her dream for years, but Lindy MacEwan finally made up her mind that it was time once and for all to decide if New Zealand really was the land of opportunity she had heard so much about. But it was not going to be easy to persuade her rugby-mad husband Steve to make a move because he was more than content with his lot in Fife, Scotland.\n\nMeet the MacEwans. It's second time around for both prison officer and part time DJ Steve and community and clinical nurse Lindy. The two got together seven years ago when they split from their respective partners. They say opposites attract and in their case this was exactly the case. Steve is outgoing and sociable while Lindy is much more family and home orientated. They might be chalk and cheese as a couple but for them it works. And now with three young children of their own to add to Lindy's daughter from her first marriage, the MacEwans feel complete.\n\nHowever, Lindy was still reeling from the breakup of her first marriage and was desperate for a brand new fresh start, far away from Fife. She was convinced a move to New Zealand was the way\nforward, and although he was not totally against the idea Steve did have major reservations. And he was not the only one with doubts - leaving Scotland meant separating eldest daughter Niamh from a dad she adores.\n\nTheir trial week helped the MacEwans experience the life they might be able to enjoy and afford in New Zealand. So where do they call home?
