I am delighted for you now that your visas have been granted. It would be good to keep in touch with you and hear how you get on with having your baby over there and registering its birth locally.

We are still hopeful that we will be able to travel in time though we are still working on the bond.

All the best
Claire

If only we knew!! Not constrained by job so going to explore the South West before making a decision. Mr J likes the look of the coast down there, I like the City Suburbs more. Still, as long as we decide before Mid May (when no 2 Jones baby arrives) that's fine by me!!

Keep in touch

Mrs J
