close to family so not convinced she will ever do it. Thanks Jamie For me I miss family terribly. We were very close to my family (drove us nuts, fought like cat and dog etc - but very close)...I stepped off that plane and my heart feels like it's been broken ever since. It's not a bad place to live etc here in Oz, although for us its a harder and more expensive way of life. My hubby has always wanted to come back to Oz to live and does love it here in some sense but even he struggles with the harder way of life too. The people we know that have settled better than us have been ones with no real family ties to speak of back in the UK. The ones who have been close are the people we know that have struggled.
