hilton Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Would be nice to get Summer in despite the weather not being guranteed. October would be good, be back in time for Halloween possibly as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scmercer Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I am hoping to return in August so we won't be hit by the cold weather for a couple of months. Also, I imagine the closer you get to Christmas the less chance you would be able to find work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chris955 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Well we are also aiming for October so I reckon that is the best time to go back :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmaroo Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I think October would be nice time to go back, like you say Christmas just round the corner! If I go it wont be until early next year! Emma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine111 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hi Sunni, I think October would be nice. Infact I reckon, anytime between March-December is good, for weather & Bonfire Night/Christmas etc. All those fab traditions we take for granted. Probably wouldn't opt for January/February. However, having just come out of the hottest summers on record in Perth, (endless days of 40c+) give me a cold,wet miserable January day, any day!! ha! ha!

Guest MSTO Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hi there, Just wondering what people's thoughts are on the best time of the year to move back to Blighty. Our target is October. sunni :wubclub: Hi Sunni We came back June which I personally thought was ideal. I must admit though October is a lovely time of year...and Christmas fantastic! Good luck with your move back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'd just feel it was one very long winter as you'd be in spring in Aus having just come out of winter. Although I guess it depends on how 'wintery' it is where you are in Aus. Personally I'd always try to go back for a spring or late winter to avoid the shocks to the system. Also things like jobs, housing market and so on tend to pick up then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conniebygaslight Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hi there, Just wondering what people's thoughts are on the best time of the year to move back to Blighty. Our target is October. sunni :wubclub: Other than the obvious with schools starting (for the people with kids) and work opps possibly drying up around Christmas time. I would say that anytime...anytime at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exile Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 March or April would probably be the ideal time for me. Have one last knees-up with the Australian summer, then onto the UK Spring Summer. Saves winter for a bit later on. As much as I love the crisp cold of Winter, I wouldnt necessarily want 12 months of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

menlow4 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I always loved the Autumn back home. The colours and yes Halloween and Bonfire night too. October is a lovely month. I would be looking to get home around August though to be settled ready for start of school year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bod Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I think April May is a great time to get back. October will still be nice but November could be tough. In all honesty I think as long as you stear clear of January and Febuary you should be fine. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aunt Agatha Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 We are moving back in Feb but if I was able, I'd choose September or March. September so we could get back and enjoy a few weeks of sunshine before the crisp Autumn days (and also so we'd have plenty of time to find a rental and a school before the application cut-off in January!) And March because I love British Springtime and it's would be lovely to be there as the weather gets warmer and all the flowers are out etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjez Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 July is good to come back, as you get endless summer, and you have time to get kids settled for school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortlepuss Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I'd go for early spring but tbh due to the seasons there are arguments for going any time.. I think that a nice spring and summer would ease you into Autumn & prepare you for the dark nights..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
