bye bye land of Oz!
 
Bye everyone.We leave this afternoon, get into London Tues a.m.We collect the dog on Wed and drive up to York then to start 2 months of hotels and holiday let accomodation while we look for somewhere to buy hopefully.

Apparently Yorkshire's received 5 inches of snow overnight!! Can't believe I'm doing this.Feels like I am being PLUNGED from one life into another SO QUICKLY. Like no time to adjust - and yet there's been months! I cried most of yesterday - even when I was at the tennis finals!!!! Just couldn't help it. Suppose I'm scared we're going back to nothing, whereas here we have "something" albeit it all difficult and not secure stuff.

I will let you all know how things are once we are back and settled.
Thanks for all your posts guys.All the best.

Much love,
*pearly*

All the best Pearly, you'll be ok mate. Once you hit English soil again and the emotions have subsided, and you realise you're home, you'll soon get back into it.
I'll be interested to hear how it goes for you. :)

Be safe.

hey to the original poster. if you stop over on way to UK and happen to check email, you may want to check on heathrow and transport from as London is snowed in baby..I am working from home today I live in Highgate North London and my car is under snow. its like a winter wonderland here, red telephone boxes, book shops, coffee shops and snow everywhere, its beautiful. You might not see that side of it when your plane is either delayed or you are stuck at airport. Buses and Tube also down.

maybe stay in stop over place for a couple of days
