Hello everyone, myself and my fiance Sue will be moving to Melbourne in about 4 weeks - Sue's got a job at the Alfred Hospital and I'll be looking to continue a career in IT management (currently with IBM).

We are v excited but also prone to the occassional bouts of nerves but am guessing that's normal.

Anyone with any tips pls feel free to send 'em our way.

Cheers!

Was in Lincoln myself up until December 2005, first up in Glebe Park and then off the High Street. Great place. We are also going to Melbourne but in April 2007.

Redlion who posts on here is in Bracebridge Heath. Many folk on the forum in Melbourne; thebears, CasG and Bordy to name a few.

Welcome! Look forward ot reading your posts.

Hi Busterboy, thx for the reply.

I've lived in Glebe (Chesney Rd) and off the High St myself - in fact seemed to have lived most places in Lincoln (admittedly, it's not that big!) which is prob one reason to move on!!

I'll keep an eye out for the other people you mentioned and will keep the site updated with progress - we should be there no later than end Nov.

Cheers!

Hi Guys

4 weeks time will be about the same as Buzzy Bee coming over for his reccie too.

The nerves are very normal - but everything does fall into place and lots of good folk down this way to provide advice/reassurance and a cuppa to settle the nerves.

You already have a job between yourselves so this is alot more than most had arriving and your coming into summer you lucky devils


WELCOME

IS Lincoln now empty? I went to school in Lincoln (used to live on Birchwood in the days the old airfield -complete with tarmac runways and control tower) was still there

Hello Welcome to the site, good luck in your very exciting move!

MattnSue

Thanks all for your posts and words of encouragement. Depending on when you were here last Lincoln may have changed a bit with the Uni (grt thing for Lincoln I believe), Brayford Development, A46 dualling, etc but the staples such as Duke William, Adam & Eve (my local), Lion & Snake (gone downhill in my view), Thai No 1, Black Horse Chambers, etc are still there and doing well.

Take care.

Matt & Sue
