Hello from Melbourne
Hi all,
My husband and I moved from Buckinghamshire to Melbourne on the 2nd of Jan. we arrived to 37 degree temps and headed straight for the beach! We have been here for 7 weeks now and managed to find a house to rent, get our dog out of quarantine and buy some furniture (the remainder is arriving in 2 weeks via sea). Hubby is working flat out and literally hit the ground running travelling to Singapore, Brisbane etc. I have just started looking for a job but am rather enjoying being a housewife for a while. I look forward to being a part of this forum
