Re: OVER 50's+ MOVING BACK TO THE UK - Part II
I finally have my one-way ticket to Heathrow, and leave on Wednesday 9th November from Adelaide with Singapore Airlines. 
SQ 278 from Adelaide, then SQ 322 from Singapore later in the day.
I'm having problems using an iPad (it keeps telling me I'm not connected to the Internet), and with little credit and gb available, I've not been able to read the forums. I will be glad when I've resettled and can buy a new iMac.
Wish me luck, at the ge of 73 it is a big move by myself.
However, my brother and his wife will meet me at Heathrow, and also help me to find a flat. I shall be spending Christmas with my sister near Lincoln, and if I'm able, my friend living near Heidelberg in Germany would like me to visit for the New Year. If I do I hope there is snow, I haven't seen any for about 40 years.

Have I missed something, or have we not heard from TrottyTrue since her operation?

And the main thing is that you do have some family to come back to, and your Brother will help you find a flat,

I think I may have gypsy blood. Just checking New Malden. It is upscale because of being next to Kingston on Thames.
It looks like a nice place if you have big bucks.
Rents are about £1400 a month for something decent. (I know you don't have to worry about that). To buy a place would be £600,000. Just sayin.
I hope you are in a good part of Malden.
So when is your interview?
Cheers
