Hi again Lunny,

Jan will be here in no time! Enjoy a nice summer (as we've been promised yet again!!), get Christmas out of the way (yuck) and there you go! We're moving July 2011 so a bit longer to wait than you but we're trying to be patience. It's a bit different for us as we're planning on going long term so to keep us busy we're making a list of everything we want to do in London before we go. If you're still about in Oz in July we'll have to meet up for a pint :D

Tx

Good luck Lunny, you sound happy with your decision. Phew don't wish the time away though I'm a good bit older and I'm holding on to every minute :rofl: Good to hear you so happy :thumbsup:

If you go back to my post I'm pretty sure I said 'long or dry evenings' you know, not like UK, where you cant even go for an evening walk coz it's lashing out.

As I said Grayling I 'glanced' at Brisbane, did not do an in-depth analysis on it!

Jeez, what's with people waiting to jump you on this forum?

According to the defenders of the faith you're not allowed to:

- say anything bad about the UK
- compare like for like
- have a grip on your own reality

The summers down here are great because of the coastline, the winters are not -- dinner parties discussing the relative merits of Cameron vs Brown and house prices, pubs serving similar fayre and gymkhanas are not exactly exciting. Exeter has more going on compared to the rest of the county, but even there everyone heads to London if they want to experience a good music and arts scene.

Deepest Devon is dreary in winter
