Thank you for all your comments. I have never been one for sitting down and writing things down but I thought that I would make an effort on here. I can ( as my long suffering PIO widower Mark will tell ya) spend copious amounts of time on here. Just thought that I`d put it to use!!! You`re all right , I cant wait for Mum and Dad to be here, we are a close family...always have been!!! I want to show them that I have made a great life for myself and Mark here. We are so settled and happy!
And as my mum says....Oz has changed me! I now have a dog AND I cook!!!!

What a brilliant thread Joanne. WE had been to Australia before for a holiday and Joanne and Mark never wanted to come with us. So their approach on never being there so having no pre-conceptions is great.
Joanne, you have a writing talent like your Dad and your Aunt Sally.
thats a lovely post, its good for people like us who are also setting on the journey to a place we ahve never been to before.
Id like to think we are like you guys, we'll take the ups with the downs and embrace the life there for the journey its going to be.
Nice one guys!

I know we don't see eye to eye on lots of things but you have a great philosophy of life and i'm sure no matter where you put down roots flowers would always grow.
My Dad past away last year and I never got to say good bye it is so hard being so far away but I alawys made sure I told him that I loved him before I hung up.
I would wish you luck but from your attitude I know you make your own! so I will wish you all the best
