Wife has never been so a bit nervous. Nice to here from fellow northerners (or anyone with advice!!). Anyone know about transporting pets? we have a dog and a horse that we would like to take.
and www.airpets.com
Also do a search for DEFRA. There is a section about exporting animals out of the UK.
Welcome to the forum! - its not going to be an easy one shipping a horse out of country - is it possible!? I am taking my 4 year old collie x Poppy - will be a worrying time, not sure how she will cope with the flight and 30 days in quarantine.

Lynnlovesthesun we may make you an honoury Northener seen as you are more Northern than us...don't want you to miss out just because of a border... . After all we are all more Northern than the Southerners and us Northerners need to stick together even once we make it to Oz.
I'm leaving Co. Durham and heading hopefully for Brisbane if everything goes to plan....apparantly the package of important documents has made Melbourne today.

Re: Which Nurses are leaving North East England???
I trained at Bede School of Nursing Sunderland...worked for a while at St. Benedicts Hospice Sunderland followed by many years on Orthopaedics at Sunderland Royal...have worked for Easington PCT for the last few years....and had my moles x 2 from cheeks (of the face may I add) took off at Shotley Bridge many years ago... .
Found lots of threads on taking animals in the past but not sure if we can take ours as we will have to rent for a while. Cat already given away, Border Terrier to go to brother possibly to follow later and feel Italian Spinnones to big to take while renting so trying to find good homes for them as they are big, bouncy, muddy and loveable dogs.

Winterton Park is the new housing estate, sad really that the old place has gone. I was the third generation of Blakeys to have worked there

. PS which airline is it with flights from Glasgow??? Its Emirates that fly from glasgow now. They started flying from Glasgow to dubai since April 2004. We flew Emirates a year ago from Heathrow and they were excellent, I couldn't fault them. More leg room than usual (In comparison BA were dreadful). The seatback films and games were good too and the meals quite nice which is highly unusable. Why are you thinking of flying with them?Lynn
