Hello Alison,
I look forward to chatting with you more : ) I have been looking at the forum for a while now and thought it was time I joined. I know we could not have done without these types of forums when we were making the move. So, I hope I can be helpful as well as making some new cyber friends.
Have you been in Sydney Long? We have been in Melbourne for 7 years and have not yet made it there for a visit, terrible, I know, but it is next on our list.
