The business in Little River was sold circa 1918 and Sidney Thomas moved to Kaikoura where he bought a farm "Ludley". He ran sheep on this and it was sited just to the north of the golf course at Kaikoura. He later bought the farm in Grange Road north of Kaikoura, in the foothills which was a dairy farm. Here he madee cheese from the milk from his herd and that of a neighbouring farm, and it is thought that the cheese may have been exported. He purchased the cheese making equipment from a factory that had closed down in Kaikoura and made the cheese at his farm. He had to sell the farm during the Depression and bought the hardware shop and timbermill in Kaikoura. Sidney and Gertie had one son, Sidney Buckland. Sidney and young Sid lived in the "Whitehouse" on the Espanade in Kaikoura. After young Sid took over the business, Sidney retired to "Bloomfield", a well known Kaikoura house. He married Mrs Collins at this time.
