No Regrets from me or the Mrs. Obviously everybody returns for many different reasons.... We returned to UK about 10 months ago to Derbyshire from Perth. (we are presently back in Perth, but just for a holiday to see friends and relations). We lived in Australia (with stints in the pacific area - work related) for over 30 years... We returned to UK when I was 69, I was concerned about the move back because of my age, but, definitely no regrets.. Our kids are grown up, they make their own choices in life and encouraged to make the move...We can visit Aust every year if we want to as we have some wonderful friends in Aust. At the end of the day, home is where the heart is...When we lived in Perth we returned to the UK nearly every year for a holiday, so we did know what to expect with all the changes etc.
What we find, is that if you are retired and have no mortgage you are better off in the UK apart from cost of fuel.
