jac2011 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Keep them coming! Sorry for editing them into smaller sections trying to keep it brief but more details are on the posts! Least people can identify people moving to similar areas prior to moving, possibly build up some friendships to help us settle! I would however like to be joined by others in 2015, I feel a bit lonely down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
