It filled me with great joy to read your story. I have lived here for 9 years and my husband for about 40 years He is retiring in a few weeks and we have decided to move back to the UK. I have never settled here and and you say it is a beautiful country but it's not 'home'. We are very excited about movingback but it is also very scarey. It is such a huge step. I also love England, there is no other place like it. Blue skies and sandy beaches do not make up for the kind of life I had in England. Thank you so much for making me feel right about the move. I can't wait to get on the plane in October. Australia is my second home and is somewhere where we will return to often for long summer holidays. I wish you lots of luck and happiness for the future.
