Default Whats your favourite spot.......

where you sit and think, Why didn't I do it sooner ? This was the best decision of my life ? God I can't beat this ?

Mine has to be either Kings Beach, Noosa or the wonderful Whitsundays. I have travelled many Caribean Islands, America and Europe but now I know I'm home.

Know just what you mean. There's a spot just down the road from our house where I go to sit & drink in the view & the sheer experience of being here.

However I'm not going to say where it is, as it's lovely and peaceful there & I want to keep it that way!

Our balcony of an evening:

The golden beach, blue sea and white waves rolling in.
The noisy lorikeets and cockatoos punctuating the evening chorus.
The shimmering sun setting in the hills, setting the skies alight with so many different colours.
My lovely wife Jules by my side, and a big smile on my face.

Why didn't I do it sooner ? This was the best decision of my life ? God I can't beat this ?

In Aus....every time I cross on the Harbour Bridge into the CBD...still gives me a buzz nearly three years on........I find myself saying 'I live here!' Having changed my job and due to start in two weeks working in the CBD not sure I will be so thrilled seeing it after a 50 min commute each day.

In England.....anywhere I am given five mins peace to sit and chat with my sister.

Northern Ireland.....the first pub I get to and hear the accents and the laughs ......

The World....balcony in Menorca with husband and bottle of plonk!

and to round it off........day to day when I see my family happy where ever we are, I always think this must be the best decision!

Its not the best spot in the world but its when i made my mind up.....sitting in a bar with friends at Coogee beach killing time till we drove to the airport to come back to England....and then as soon as those plane wheels touched down at Heathrow in the p****ng rain.I cried my eyes out . Started the application process within 48 hours of walking through my front door

Favourite in England...Coniston Waters, Lake District. In Oz has to be snorkelling on the Barrier Reef every time
