Thanks very much.

I'm not sure what other food items there are other than groceries to be honest :lol: We haven't found anything that is VERY expensive, petrol maybe but not much else. 10 years ago I would have said that almost everything was significantly more expensive here but those days are thankfully gone.

Glad to hear you made it ok & good luck with setting everything up :) :thumbup:
Pouring with rain in this bit of the UK but its still lovely, not a murderer or pillager in sight :D and yes, I'm still posting while on holiday :cool:

The sun has been out all day today in Dorset :thumbsup:

Re: An update.....
 

Glad you finally got back to the UK- even better that youm be in the west country.
Good luck house hunting.:fingerscrossed:

I am slightly envious that you will get the glorious countryside of a British spring, with bluebells, new leaves, hawthorn blossoms, and tulips/paeonies/hydrangeas etc....

I miss my UK garden and the countryside around it. ( In the garden yesterday picking up more blinking branches, twigs and leaves- 6 big bucketfuls, and filled the green bin to capacity.)

Good luck with everything :fingerscrossed::thumbup:

Good luck with your new life, Chris, hope it all works out great for you and MrsChris.

Chris, just want to wish you and your family a great future in the UK. Hope everything falls into place for you. I know this move means a lot to you.:thumbsup:
Please keep posting.....

Re: An update.....
 

Great to hear you are where you want to be.

I'll concede I'm jealous of your proximity to English pubs and ale. ;)

Raining here :lol:

Re: An update.....
 

Congratulations Chris... I'm glad you escaped the termites. Enjoy a wonderful UK Spring (and Summer). Lucky you!!

Don't worry about the weather there... it's p***ing rain in Brisbane today... has been gloomy for days and there are days more gloom forecast.

Enjoy! :)

I've never flown Emirates. Did you go on their A380 from Singapore?

I've been on Qantas' A380 and I was a bit indifferent to the whole thing

Re: An update.....
 

We only had the 380 from Dubai but it was brilliant, the cabin crew are great and at 6'4" the legroom is amazing, my knees were nowhere near the seat in front and that is cattle class.

Welcome Home to Chris and Family.....did you go on the night Safari in Singapore....we thought it was wonderful even with the heaviest rain I have every experienced...yes even more than Manchester lol...just try and take your time with everything...I found when I tried to arrange things as quickly as I could (to make a home etc esp for everyone) it got stressful and I did think then "what have we done" kind of thing. Good luck with everything...Take care

Re: An update.....
 

We all loved the A380. It was fab! :thumbup:

Re: An update.....
 

Ah ha! Was wondering when you were going back! Glad you are enjoying it and have had good experiences so far, congrats to you and the family :thumbsup:

Nice aircraft. The most amazing thing is the cocktail bar at the rear. :thumbsup:

I am surprised you flew Emirates via Singapore though Chris. What made you not pick Singapore?

(I like both airlines.....)
