For those of you who aren’t aware, my name is Dee West, and I write most of the blogs you’ll see on the Trust Website.
I’ve lived in New Zealand for more than 20 years now, and I started my life here in Thames as an exchange student when I was 16 years old.
Thames is a beautiful, sleepy little gateway town that leads to the Coromandel peninsula. Beach towns, firth towns, excellent food, an eclectic mix of people and communities, and a real sense of connection between local businesses and residents are just the start of what makes Thames a magical place.
