46 days

46 days

So I’ve now spent 7,604 days in London and there are only 46 more days remaining. And they are going to be very busy ones! Since my last post was some time ago, here’s where we are as of today: - crossing everything possible and hoping our house exchanges next Tuesday. I’ve signed the contract,...

A month of madness

A month of madness

The moving to Australia plan has really taken shape this month – meaning we now have a clearer plan of what to do and have started ticking some of it off. So here’s the monthly update (and in months to come, hopefully I can look back on this with a big sigh of relief that...

The waiting begins

Finally, on Wednesday we submitted SDF’s migration visa application for Australia. I say finally because it took us ages to pull together all the supporting evidence needed – official documents, statements from friends, certified evidence of our relationship, copies of bills and so on. Now the waiting starts. No idea how long it will take...

A wonderful new adventure

A wonderful new adventure

Within a couple of days of arriving in Sydney, I’d decided that for so many reasons it was probably time to move back permanently. What I hadn’t done after 20 years in London I was probably never going to do – and I was getting very bored with corporate life generally, 5 days a week....

About time

About time

As the song goes, “I’m coming home, I’ve done my time”. Unbelievable that next week it will have been twenty years ago that I left Sydney for London. A 6 month trip soon became a year, then 2, then 5, and now 20. But the time is right for me to bring my family to...
