Fitzpatrick Family

Billy wanted a new start in New Zealand, but on a trial week there, wife Beth struggled with leaving her mum. Two years on, where do the Fitzpatricks call home?

Billy Fitzpatrick was keen to make a new start for his family in New Zealand. For wife Beth, things weren't as straightforward. She struggled to come to terms with the thought of leaving her mum behind in the UK.

Two years ago, the Fitzpatrick family spent a trial week living in Auckland. Beth seemed to be won over by the opportunities New Zealand offered, but did the family actually go ahead and make the move to the other side of the world?
