Re: An update.....
 
For those who are interested and indeed the conspiracy theorists and stalkers LOL.
The weather has been crap but yesterday was glorious, it has made us realise that the weather is of little importance overall.
Everything seems to be cheaper except fuel, somethings VERY cheap indeed especially groceries.
I have finally bought myself a Prius, I have always wanted one and pick it up hopefully today. With one of these, 20 quid road tax and cheap insurance it wont be any more expensive to run a car here than it was in Australia.
Everyone has been very helpful, cheerful and seemingly happy. There arent any signs of impending doom, in fact it appears to be life as normal for most people.
My boys have already seen loads of animals they wont to add to the "zoo" that we are planning on having.
All up we are all having a ball.

Thanks. It is a beautiful part of the world, we are using a different route to go to see our friends each time and keep discovering new villages and areas. Yes I think he is around here somewhere.

Its always nice to read a happy outcome, well done. As one of the replies to your thread read Wet,Sunny,Grey etc....I think if your happy where you are then things like homes, weather are not (and that can all be in one day here lol) so important...nice but not the be all.....Good luck with everything, we have been home from Aus 2 years now and still enjoying exploring the U.K and living "back home" have you visited Bath? I went many many years ago now.....and really enjoyed the visit. All the best

Love Whitstable. My in-laws live in Canterbury so I visited Whistable for the day during christmas. It was a beautifully sunny (but cold) day and we spent the day charity shopping and eating fish and chips at the fish market. LOVED IT!!!! Good luck with everything :)
