Default At last we have a plan

At long last we have a timetable and a plan for our move.

It has taken a long time due to complications with my wife taking early retirement from the Civil service.

We now plan to move to Brisbane in the middle of May.

My son is letting us have a house he owns in Toowong and he is refurbishing it at the moment.......apparantly the large garden is a breeding ground for triffids so it looks like we will have our work cut out

We will be returning to the UK at the end of june to attend some family events (including our youngest son's wedding).

We will then move back on a more permanent basis at the end of August.

I hope it runs smoothly but will soon find out.

Apparently there are a large number of Threadfins in the Brisbane river nowadays.

Just need to sort myself out a boat
