Yaxlich is very pleased to learn that he is the representative of the United Kingdom on the World of Bloggers website. The World of Bloggers website is run by a man called Rhys who lives in a country called New Zealand which Yaxlich has learnt is a very long way from England. In fact it's 11,384 miles away. Yaxlich didn't know very much about New Zealand so has spent the last hour doing some research. Here are some of the things he has learned.
- They share the same Queen as England and have her every third Tuesday of the month.
- 4.1 million people live in New Zealand. 40 million sheep live in New Zealand.
- Velcro trousers and thigh length waders are the top selling items in New Zealand shops.
- New Zealand is twelve hours ahead of England which means that today is actually tomorrow in New Zealand.
- In 1893 New Zealand was the first country to allow women to vote.
- In 1894 the New Zealand flag was changed to a pretty chintz design with frilly ruffles.
- The countries biggest export is bar tenders.

Yaxlich has indeed leanrt much about New Zealand. Although I did think we had 80 million sheep here. We got the idea for the velco gloves off our Australian friends across the Tasman Sea.
Thanks for your write up. It is a pleasure to have your blog listed there.
