We have now been in Melbourne for 6 weeks, and with a week and a half of work under my belt, I dare to suggest that we are starting to feel a little settled. The kids do not start shool until next week, which will be a major advancement, and Steph has not found work yet, but then the plan was always to make sure the kids were well settled before jumping that hurdle.
Starting work was a bit of a shock! and to be honest I am still finding the necessity to get up and be productive a bit of a strain, especially as the rest of the family are still at home, but Hey Ho! at least we have a long weekend coming up to celebrate Australia Day!
Steph and I have been debating the advantages of Australia (of which there are many, especially when you hear of the snow back home), and we have been weighing up whether this is a likely short, medium or long term adventure.
I think we really only have one conclusion for sure, and that is it is unlikely to become a permanent move. The lifestyle maybe great, and it is quite without question a better place to be than England, but it is not home, and as such we believe we will want to return at some point. We accept that we will possible regret a return, once the UK becomes 'normal' again. So we find ourselves in great symaphy for the 'Ping Pong Poms' who make repeated migrations between the two countries in an endless effort to find the right place!..... maybe the answer is to go travelling again!!!! - Only joking (or am I!)
