yep, 27 years ago to the day we arrived in australia...
it was (contrary to what my dad promised us) bloody freezing, and in fact snowing when we arrived at richmond airbase! and almost colder in canberra when we arrived there a day or so later...
however, 27 years on, i can't think of a single reason that would make me want to go back to england (well, at least not to live there) - i reflect on this every year at this time and if my dad was here (he was the driving force behind us moving here, after a short stint in adelaide in 1974/5) then i would call him and thank him...
see, i cannot imagine what my life would have been like if we'd stayed there, and no doubt it would have been just fine, but australia is my home...and seriously, who wouldn't want to call it home??
so thanks dad! bloody ingenious decision on your part and one i won't ever forget...
can't wait to see you tuesday
go blues!
xx
