Clydebank to Mackay, Qld to give kids a better life and apart from the odd blip (like major heart attack) seem to be doing ok.

Brought up in Cheshire, spent far too long in Coventry, before going back to Cheshire.

Came here almost on impulse ... we were not happy in England, had travelled a lot in US and Europe, and were going to come on a trip here...but decided to apply for a Visa instead.

Would not change anything, we are very happy here...everything has turned out brilliantly

Dad's an aussie. He got us sprogs citizenship over 20 years ago. Decided to move here with wife and son three years ago. This area because parents and older sister live within about a 60km radius. Been here a year. Like it. No plans to go anywhere else for the foreseeable future.
where abouts in north herts did you live
