Thanks again for the wishes and welcome homes everyone, big thanks to one and all.
Its good to know so many of you are all still smiling after being home a while too, not suprised. xxxxx
So good to hear you're happily settled Libby, tis a good feeling isnt it. I keep finding myself suddenly looking around and feeling all emotional, tis quite entertaining.
Lynne - hope alls good with you being back too.

Funny, seems cheap here too which is a suprise. And really friendly too.

Hi my dear

Just checked in to see how you are - can't tell you how pleased I am to hear you sounding sooooo happy at last. Was great to see you before you left Melbourne. Am glad you had that extra couple of weeks to feel completely confident you were doing the right thing... it sounds like you have - your happiness is almost bursting through the PC!

Making me jealous that you've been in my (old) neck of the woods - Brighton/Sussex - could just imagine being back at home from your description. Bring on Xmas when I'll be doing the same (but in coat and hat!)

Keep in touch and good luck with the move to Devon

:curse: great news that you are home, we went back to Manchester (Danebank in Denton) in March 07 until May 07 it was our 2nd visit home in 8 years the first one being in for Christmas and New Year 05 (that was just the best time we have had at that time of year since we arrived in Perth W.A) anyway we had a wonderful time and decided that was were we wanted to be HOME...with have two boys who are in year 11 and yr 9 and we have now decided to go home when our older son finishes year 12 and we cannot wait....being here I have always had a yearning to be back at home, even though we have had some great times here we miss so much more at home....so good luck to you and I am really wishing that was us right now as at the moment I am online as well with my dad (who is 78) who I love dearly and even though he has visited many,many times I miss going for a cup of tea with him at Sainsbury's or the both of us going up to Bury market and having a great laugh as my dad is a really charmer!!! all the sun and big homes cannot bring me that.....all the best and at the moment it is cold wet and windy......and BORING!!!! no markets or other towns for me to visit here....I did most of W.A in the first 3 years!!!! and some more!!! great place for some but not for us!!! Good luck and just think Bonfire night/a cold Christmas with all the lights in the windows and New Year !!!!

Hi, I have not been on the site for a while as we have loads happening here, last time I was you had just come back from Cyprus and was still wondering if you had done the right thing....how does it feel now? Kev and Jackie in Perth W.A

brits1

Hi, I would just like to say that my family who have visited us here in Perth W.A have all said "oh it's sunny and open and clean" etc but none have come out to live here with us.....some of them think we are mad to give up what we have here but Kevin (my better half) and myself have always felt the pull of home....it would be a lot easier on us if we did not have that feeling and some mornings I have wanted to get up and feel this is our home but it has never happend. When we go home for a visit it just feels so right like we have never been away and we just do not think of Perth at all when we are home, it seems like a distant dream.....but I know how you feel you do have to try and get the right area etc otherwise you might start blaming England for your move when it may just be you are in the wrong area. We have tried many areas in Perth and they have all been nice....just not home

SBUK

....How very sad

Sounds like you definately know its the right move to head back when your sons finished year 12, thats great. It'll be worth the wait.
Funny, being back, with people its seems like I saw them last week. Hope you're back heading to bury market with your Dad b4 you know it.
Must say, being able to go loads of different places is mind boggling here in UK isnt it.
best of luck
