Hi Sadie,
Im 48 so not quite in the 50,s zone lol, we are still in the uk and moving out to Adelaide in January hopefully all going well.Personally i wouldnt move back to the uk things arent good here its all doom and gloom in the news and i find in Scotland where i live everyone moans about their life and job if they are lucky to have one. It takes a wee while to settle in a place ,i find if you make an effort to join a club in something you are interested about that helps . If you have family issues going on in the uk then you will worry about it no matter where you are . Hope my advice helps best wishes xx

Hi,
Appreciate your advise, been living in OZ for four years now, and get out and about regular and have a few both Oz and Brit friends despite feeling homesick..for me personally my heart is in the U.K. was back for a holiday recently, and yes noticed the doom and gloom press, although family and friends still managing trips over to Europe, despite the recession. I think having lived in another country for a while makes you value the good and bad points about both countries, due to circumstances for the forseeable we will be living in Oz and will continue to make the most of it despite my longing to be home, which I hope will still happen. All the best with your move, still good to try... whether it's for you or not.;)

I also come from Wiltshire and would describe it more as boring than anything else. Anyway, I thought this website was for poms in adelaide or poms wanting to emigrate to adelaide. My question is that if your existence is so good and you have no intention of moving here then why are you on here?

Probably on here for similar reasons as yourself?I have spent 30 years living in Adelaide,my kids were born there and my family still live there,good enough reasons for you?I don't find Wiltshire boring in the slightest.Laying on a beach all day is my idea of boring.I don't have time to do everything I want to do,so its hardly boring.

We've been here over 11 years and our boys have grown up here, but I've noticed that since they've been a little older, and therefore, more observant, they are realising what they have missed out on, in terms of extended family. We came here for a better life than we had and I believe we've achieved that, but I have to say that if they decide to return to Blighty, I'm not convinced I'll want to stay in Australia.
