A fellow Moonraker eh? Well, I was born in Somerset, but lived in Wroughton and Devizes for several years
Like you, married to an Aussie. He has never lived in the UK though, and I'm not sure he could adjust to it, so I'm stuck here for the duration (north Brissie). Family all back in the UK. I'll have served three years of my sentence at the beginning of November, and like you I have a love/hate relationship with Aus - i want to love it, but it seems to hate me. You may have seen some of my stuff on the Uk forum too.......
I do know exactly what you mean about missing yourself, what a perfect way to describe it. I think my real self is now locked away in a box; I can't bring it out cos it doesn't "fit" with Australia.
Sad really, what love does to us, isn't it!

Hi there Rosie Cheeks
I am Claire, and live with hubby Steve & kids Jonah & Suzy in Ashmore. I notice you are in Benowa - maybe we could meet up for a coffee at Benowa Gardens or Ashmore City if you fancy it??

It's very tricky when you have an Aussie husband, who I don't think really wants to leave Australia.
I will keep reading and try to join in when I can.
Thanks everybody for a fascinating site.
