Hi Glittababe
your photography is great... i too am most grateful for being able to live in a really beautiful part of the world. We moved between South Africa and the UK a number of times, before finding what we'd been searching for, after all those moves, and now appreciate it every single day. Our daughter too has been brilliant during all the moves, and is very happy here... Sometimes it takes time to find what your'e looking for.. now we have found it!:thumbsup: Please note to the very charming pic of us all together wasn't taken by me - it was at infinity on teh GC!!! |

I know families that would love to come and live here, but, for one reason or another simply can't. Yes it has problems, but doesn't everywhere? Focus on the good stuff, deal with the bad stuff! Chuck those rose tinted specs in the bin as soon as you land!
Please note to the very charming pic of us all together wasn't taken by me - it was at infinity on teh GC!!! Ineresting your point about moving from a small village to the city and it being the wrong place. We live in a small town here in teh UK and i hate big cities, hate major traffic and therefore am considering Cairns, however hubby is fancying Perth but i'm just not sure it would work as i think a big city would just get to me. oh and your kids are gorgeous too |

Haha they're not always that gorgeous! Cairns is beautiful! If you're not city people then definately head up that way. It really is an amazingly beautiful place! I'm just trying to find some pics of our boys to see how much they've changed!

why's it taking so long??? Are you still working teh plus 20 hrs per week?? I was so lucky, after fearing the worst that I hadn't done enough, they took into consideration all teh bank work I'd done! I used to curse at being called in on my days off, but now I'm so grateful! Maybe it was meant to be ;)

Re: Time for an update....
Hi Annie,
Long time no speak! I just pop on here every now and again to catch up on people's news., so lovely to see your post and hear that all is still going so well. My goodness, your boys are growing up quickly! Dave and I have two little 'uns now (aged 22mths and 5mths) so I am kept pretty busy! Give my love to Debs when you next see her. Take care, and love to all, Nicky |

The thing with ping ponging is you have a real appreciation of what you want. We simply moved to the wrong area! We were just outside of Brisbane - we came from a gorgeous Suffolk village (and I mean seriously gorgeous) so why we ever thought we could live near the city is beyond me! Everytime we got out of the city I just felt I could breath again. Going back to the UK was good tho, it also gave us focus so we could sell teh house and get rid of any ties. Now we simply have nothing to go back for. Our family are moving over this way, as are our friends. Soem friends that can't move over, have already come over for a holiday, and we all keep in touch (facebook) anyway!
:D Have eldest daughter from Perth here at mo with her ozzie boyfriend. they are having a great time but go home next weekend :( God I am gonna find that bit really hard:( Its harder this time about going than last in the respect of this recession thingie looming over everyones head:blink::confused: Wanna try Brissy area first as I felt that was where I wante to be when we visited a few years ago but circumstances made us stay in Perth, saying that tho I can see all the good bits of Perth now, so would happily go back there.. |
