Finally come back after 14 years
It's been a mental time back in the UK but I am so pleased to be back. I originally lived in Melbourne in the Dandenongs 2003-2007. I have come back to Adelaide and it seems I whole different country. Thinking of you all in Melbourne and hope your lockdown is short lived.
