Hi,
I love the area and place I live, it is stunning, Perth in Scotland has the Scenery, a safe place to live.
Crisp cold winter mornings the frost on the ground the sky blue and all wrapped up and outside for a walk, coming hoem adn getting in a hot bath.
History - all our history castles and homes and a cultre bread on it, it does lack that in Australia and something I love.
there my 3

Hi
1. I love going straight down the beach with the children after school in the summer, taking a picnic tea and having a game of cricket on the sand in the early evening.
2. Camping in the New Forest, the scenery is stunning.
3. Glastonbury!! A total escape from the rat race for 4 wonderful days a year.

That really set me thinking!
1) Long summer evenings in the garden. Will miss those (even though they aren't too numerous) as it gets darker so much earlier in Oz.
2) Familiarity of places - visiting favourite places, knowing where to find certain shops etc
3) The bits of picturesque countryside we've got left!
Roll on Australia!
