Sounds like a wonderful trip.
Good luck with the sale Deadlock, and a smooth flight home.

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

We were down in Cornwall last summer(summer soltice party,had a great time too)and yeah the coastline down that way is very beautiful.Went to the Lizard and will have to return at some time,all along that coast is a fantastic coastal walk,wow,that would be incredible!Havent tried surfing in GB as yet,the waters too bloody cold!:rofl:

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

Good luck to you Deadlock. You obviously know what you want in your life. I am jealous.............but, will be going back too in the summer, can't wait.

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

Good luck with it!!!

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

brighton is a very cool place (literally) it has great clubs pubs and shops,i love it there.my parents are retiring to the west country so i'll follow them,i dont want them to miss the experience of one of the kids crashing through the door at 3am blind drunk,i'm thoughtful like that! :thumbup:

Thanks for the messages everyone :thumbsup:

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

I'll echo what the others have said, best of luck to you.:thumbup:

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

Good Luck to you. We are moving back to that area..... Eastbourne, Worthing somewhere around there beginning of March....love Brighton, daughter is at Uni there :)

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

if you like the country have a look around lewes/barcombe easy to get trains/buses to brighton/ eastbourne,motorway is very close.great country pubs to.! :thumbsup:

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

Can't beat summer evenings sitting in the garden of an English country pub...I've missed that....but this summer that's where we'll be :D

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

We thought that....surfing...but on our last trip home we saw surfers in Scarborough (and it was one of the only wet,windy and cold days we'd had)...then in Llandudno (same trip) even jet skies and boats out that day....my dad had speedboats...we had 4 while I was growing up and we took the boats everywhere...lakes,sea....and that was while we lived in Manchester....the weather never bothered us....honestly great times....

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

:thumbup::thumbsup:

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

Doesn't even have to be a summer's evening!

I am currently in London on one of my much-needed trying-to-recover-my-sanity-and-charge-the-old-batteries visits. Every night as I return from the opera/ballet/theatre/concert/night out with friends etc there are people still enjoying themselves in the pub gardens of Putney :thumbsup:

Maybe not tonight though - it snowed overnight and the place looks like a winter wonderland. However, the sun is out in full force, so it may all be gone by tonight.

As for Young's Special........ nectar for the goddesses! :)

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

I too am leaving Brisbane for the uk in 4 weeks,cant wait.Good luck mate:thumbup:

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

:thumbsup:

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

and to you mate all the best :D

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

LOl...our first visit back was Winter and we expected everyone to hibernate...(well they do here in Perth..lol...what am I on about they hibernate all year round..lol) you know your informed by expats "bloody ell why do you want to back this time of year....it's freezing...everyone will be indoors trying to keep warm....etc...etc" we went back and it was 'buzzing" we felt like a couple of old dears...you know thinking of going to bed by 9.30pm....that's when people started to go out:ohmy:....quiz nights...etc...going on during the week at our locals (we have two lovely pubs were we lived)....and the weather....we had 4 weeks of lovely weather....honestly....dark nights...cold....fresh mornings...did not stop any of our family from enjoying themselves....our local which has a huge beer garden had the outside heaters on and it was just a lively as it is on a spring/summer day...bliss just cannot wait....

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

Apart from the very very odd day(and I can honestly say I can count on one hand in the past 10 years)we spend alot of time outside.Unless its continual rain,its no big deal is it?I have a waterproof thick coat,no problem!;)

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

Me too, as soon as the warmer weather hits, I am up and running all over the Sarf - cannot wait Devon, Cornwall, other bits of Somerset. I especially want to visit the Cotswolds again, I only got a glimpse on my move down here, but hey did God ever create a more perfect place than this area of outstanding natural beauty??

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

So true...I watched a programme on "Anglia" last night and although I have visited the area VERY fleetingly, really you don't really need to go abroad when there is so much on our own doorstep.

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

And that is something some of us (me!) don't appreciate until we move away to another country! If I could turn back the clock I would not have moved to Australia just to another part of the UK but hey ho..........

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

Same for me....hindsight and all that...boy you'd be a millionaire if you could bottle it....

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

Have to agree with you both there, hindsight is a wonderful thing.

For us the ironic thing is that we are moving back to the place that we would have moved to had we not got the visa for Oz. :o

Hope you are enjoying the lovely cooler weather today Brits.:)

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

It's the same where we live,go over to our local in Crafers and by 8pm they have all left to go home and put on their night wear.
where are you going to live Brit1 once you are back in the U.K.?

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

Same for us..we were just going to move slightly further out of the subs. to Marple...we had even seen a house we liked that had come on to the market..if only..lol...yes loving the weather today "walked" with our oldest while he was doing his meter reading (new job...loads more money for him)today was Armadale....well honestly I will never think badly of the rough areas in the U.K they are certainly bad here if not worse...what an eye opener...

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

My eye opener was working in a Centrelink call centre, the most depressing job I have ever had in my life I have to say.

The Lucky Country? Not for lots and lots of people especially in country areas. That's the part they don't show on Neighbours and Home and Away where lots of people get their ideas from that everything is sunshine, big houses with pools and everybody looks like blimmin' movie stars.......

Re: NOT CONFUSED
 

Or dare I say it "Wanted Down Under"?Those shows only show the Australia potential emigrants want to see!:D
