Looking for my new home

I believe I’m the kind of tenant landlords hope for, stable, trustworthy, and house proud.
I have been in my current home for the past 9 years, and while I’m sad to be leaving due to the owners selling, it's time to look for my new home.

I come with one other and a 7 year old Huntaway cross and a 4 year old Russian Blue cat. I also have excellent references and proven history of long term tenancy.

If I sound like the kind of tenant your after, let me know :)

Avalon cycleway (well, shared path actually!)

Fantastic to see the city continue to invest in making getting to school safer on bikes.

The city's getting denser. Every commute should feel like what it does during school holidays. The only way to get that to happen is when parents feel comfortable with their kids riding bikes and walking to school.

I've heard a few people moan that there's no bikes, so there's no need for a cycleway. But the lack of bikes is exactly the point. It indicates that people don't feel like bikes are a valid option.

Cycleways work all around the world. There's no magical curse which means that they won't work here too.
