asti Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Greetings, Back on planet Earth and i'm in Manly NSW awaiting the birth of our first grandchild, what a great country to be born in, i've been here 3 weeks (only another 4 to go). It's at times like this that i really do wish that i were 30 years younger and living and working in OZ. Young people of Sheffield PLEASE give yourselves a break and leave the UK for a while, work in another country, New Zealand, OZ, Canada, i think you'll benifit from the expirence. OK i'm off the soap box. Regards Asti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippy Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Gday asti, we have been here 38 years this year, it's a fantastic place to bring up a family, we are at Shellharbour, a couple of hours south of you, hope our Winter temps aren't too cold for you. Hope everything goes well with the new Aussie arrival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodens Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Congratulations asti. Biggest regret of my life was moving back to the UK, from South Africa, in 1976 instead of going on to Oz. Can't see much of a future in this dump but I'm too old to go now. I'd recommend all young people to go out there and give it a try - the future in Europe looks pretty grim, at least your grandchild has a good future in front of him/her.

Amazing, she had Jaundice and could have stayed in hospital a bit longer but they opt to take her home with the "Blue Light", never saw one used before, they have a blue glowing light in her crib. she looks like an alien baby all lit up. congrats again...Poppins.
