Stef Barker was a woman obsessed with New Zealand – having lived there previously, she was absolutely sure that it was the best place for her, husband Alan and their two young girls. Alan, however, was far from convinced that it was the right move for them. They spent a week in Auckland to see if it swayed him towards Stef’s point of view. So three years later, have they made up their mind about where they should be?
