We Love WA.......
My goodness we didnt expect that.......When i say we Love WA, I mean we absolutely Love WA
We have been fortunate in our lives to travel to many places across the world including reccies to Brissie and Adelaide but Perth and the surrounding areas were just so perfect for us our current lifestyle and what we would like to be doing in the remaining years of our lives........
We went to Validate but not certain about anything but and here is the but we are more certain now about moving than at anytime during this whole drawn out process
There were jobs (unheard of in the UK at present) there was affordable housing and yes even decent schools as well as the beautiful surroundings and beaches as far up as we travelled (Yanchep to Mandura). We had some excellent advice from many people but in particular Rob and Elaine (Ozzy7) in secret harbour, thanks so much to you for your hospitality to us 2 total strangers
So all in all without boring you all we spent a fab week opening bank accounts to looking at Properties to eating ice cream in the winter sun at Scarboro Beach......an absolute pleasure
Very sad to leave we felt that attached.....most unlike us to become emotional but thats how we felt
12 months and counting the house is being made over with new Deck n turf then it will hit the market in Aug/Sept
Lisa we managed to miss the storm up 'North' lol but it was windy but not as bad as you guys in the deep south
AWSOME AWSOME AWSOME Back soon and guess what Britian....We arent coming back

i'm soooo glad you had a great time and absolutely love perth....it is a fantastic place.
i know your visa experience was a little stressful to say the least, but they say things happen for a reason hey, and from what you say your happy for your new life to be in perth
just imagine what its like in spring and summer....even better!!!!!!! even winters not too bad, just the odd storm to contend with, but inbetween you get some beautiful warm sunny days, even in the deep south ....its a hard life, lol!!!!
keep us updated on how things are going for you.....we're all following your story with interest
