Lynne shenfine Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Hi everyone. Im not sure if anyone will remember me but it was just to let everyone know my husband secured a fantastic job in Jersey in the Channel islands in November. We sold our house, cars, wrapped up life here and despite the Covid situation are flying home tomorrow from Adelaide. I thought we would have some sadness but to be honest we just feel a sense of relief and that we are 'going home' We are flying business class with Qatar. Flights and exemption were very straight forward. Have a safe and wonderful Christmas and New Year and I hope 2021 is a more peaceful and happier year for everyone! I will keep you posted........... Much love XXXX 5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Kash Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) If it feels like youre going home then its a good move without a doubt. Youve got a decent sounding job (for one of you) which in the current climate is a great start. Were in ADL but went back to the Lake District in 2018 but found it tough to find decent jobs so came back, essentially for the jobs and weather here. I loved being back in the UK. Good luck, stay safe and merry xmas Edited December 24, 2020 by Johnny Kash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynne shenfine Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 Thank you both. My husband is a Professor of surgery so thankfully the job wasn't a huge issue. I understand in the current climate how difficult things are so do not for one moment take for granted the position we are in. Have a lovely Christmas and super New year too xxx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Glad to hear things have worked out well for you - good luck and bon voyage!!! We flew into Aus on Christmas morning last year and it was an odd experience flying at Christmas - hope you have a good day and a smooth trip! Jersey will be a lovely adventure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scousers Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Best if luck with your new life in Jersey, would love to be returning to the uk. Maybe one day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tea4too Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 So exciting - a new chapter, a new adventure! I've been to Guernsey but not Jersey, however I think I could easily live in the Channel Islands which have their own history and culture, and also happen to be a really beautiful part of the world.

I got offered a job there (Sark) once many moons ago, but came out to Australia instead. I adore OZ and consider it my home now. But if I ever moved back, then can think of worst places than the Channel islands. Very similar to Tasmania in scenery it seems. From my understanding, islanders tend to think of themselves as French rather than English, at least that is how it use to be when I was offered a job. Wonder how it is now?
