many ups and downs to cross yet, but you know you made the right choice and that's

Tracey, welcome home, these bits you have wrote really stood out for me. I wouldn't swap how I feel now compared to a few months ago for nothing. That dull ache every day, followed by panic of getting stuck there in Oz. We, thats me and my two children have been home nearly six months now after nearly 2 years in Oz and I have my life and self respect back. I really look back and think what on earth was all that about? But when you are there it is so very hard to decide to come home, I am so very glad for you that your OH realised how very unhappy you were and came home with you. I'm afraid mine didn't and still remains in Sydney.
We are good here and have some great support. My son has started School and only last week was awarded by his Headmaster for showing kindness and for his reading in Assembly and my daughter is thriving. I am now doing an A level in Law too. We have come a long way together, I am very proud of their strength and love.![Love](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/wub.gif)
I wish you all lots of happiness ahead, axx![Love](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/wub.gif)

As for the other well wishers, thanks. Today is another glorious autumnal day. The leaves on the trees are a hue of rich colours and the sky is blue. Dunno how long it will be blue, but it's blue now!
Suze and Rachel, I'll start e-mailing you as soon as the darn computer is up and running at home. Hope you're both coping ok and I hope we can get together back home soon xxx

Great to hear from you Tracey, have been wondering how you are going.
My own countdown clicked over into double figures today.

Hi Tracy
Thanks for your up date.......I love reading, that people are so happy to be back in the Uk. We have been back 4 mths now and it did feel abit strange at first, but for me it was a good feeling not bad
Your last paragraph, brought a tear to my eye....when you said you was proud to be British
Same here
