Re: Scots in Australia
I hold my hands up to hanging around the MBTTUK fourm, but it seems like a helluva lot of scots are returning to bonnie scotland, not only on BE but i also have met 3 scottish couples since being here (18 months), one couple gone back and 2 planning thier return,
perhaps its me
So are there any scots out there staying

We have been here nearly 6 months and to be honest the first 3 months on several occassions I though WTF have we done!! Until last week my OH had no intention on going back to Scotland ever again but we found out on Thursday that we have a wee nephew so Jeff would like to go back to see him at some point!! Hope it works out for you Mags, maybe a wee trip to Scotland in the freezing winter will make you realise how good things are here!!

Re: Scots in Australia
Been here almost 16 months and already been back to Bonnie Aberdeen for 6 weeks.
(Hubby and son very homesick and wanted to return.)
With 2 daughters still in Aberdeen, settling here has been more difficult.
I like it here, although I miss things and people from Scotland.
Our eldest daughter is coming over in 3 weeks time and I'm already dreading her going back. This will be our first visitor...... Mixed feelings, although very excited.
Watch this space!

Re: Scots in Australia
jan i will be watching
had reservations starting this thread, expecting the usual crap (am sure it will still come), but so far, so good, a genuine thanks for the input
but am just a person trying to get 'on with it here' i can see the good and the bad, and i dont want to 'ping-pong', i truly wanna settle , am too old to not settle, so i truly think a wee trip back to bonnie scotland will help me decide, (although with my life this will take ages to organise)!!!!!,lol
