Hi Banksy Where in Swansea are you from, i am 43 and my husband is 41 maybe we know each other lol. We are Claire and Neil Pennington and lived in Fforestfach.

Hi We are also from swansea, i think my hubby might know yours(we bumped into him at seaford shops!) been here 18 months now and really love it but get homesick still and miss friends at home:( we used to have a great social life (wind st lol) and its really hard to get used to not having that,we love scfc well neil more than me! and also love rugby (miss those all dayers). If you fancy meeting up or a night out let me know:) Claire and Neil (40 AND 43)

Hi neil and i are still up for it! is anyone free next weekend? maybe meet sat nightin a pub somewhere?x

Hi We are Claire & Neil, we are in early 40s with a teenage daughter, we know how u feel, we feel a bit like outcasts not having young kids and it makes it a bit harder to meet people i think, we love eating out, drinking, bbqs and partys and would love to meet new couples! busy the next few wkends but if your free 17th or 24th let me know and we can arrange something:~)

we had to miss the jubilee party in brighton cos of work, gutted we missed it:( hope everyone had a great night!

we will see you there!

Hi again! i think you would like seaford rise lots of nice houses all different,really quiet and can see the beach from your window! we pay $400 and we have 4 beds, ensuite, large outdoor area and a pool! moana is also nice and port noarlunga. i have only just seen your post about having cold feet, it is really hard leaving people you love and i must admit i do get bad days but not many and i know i have made the right choice, i know weathers not everything but it definately cheers you up, i can see your from wales so the rain is something you will NOT miss lol.skype is fantastic for talking to loved ones, we are on it all the time, it feels like they are next door! when we sold our lovely house in wales (for a lot less than we should have) i was scared of the thought of starting again but iv realised now its not really important, sometimes you just have to take risks and go for it! your plan sounds good, just remember you can always go home, nothings impossible. your children will grow up enjoying the outdoors and not stuck on a playstation! sorry iv gone on a bit but hope its helped just a bit, goodluck with the house sale. Claire Neil and Stacy ,

Hi, Seaford Rise is lovely and theres lots of people living here from uk, we are starting to make lots of new friends which is great and makes you miss your friends back home a bit less! when do you get here? be great to meet you and have a few beers:) Claire, Neil and Stacy

aww sorry its too far for you:(

we will have to arrange another time, with a bit more notice! i do have a very reliable daughter who will babysit for you, just let me know if you would like to meet her. We do have our ups and downs (well i do!) but finally feel like we are settling now, neils been working for a few months in mazda and iv been doing courses so start my new job next week! thats what tonights all about, a bit of a celebration:) how are you liking it? any jobs lined up yet? Claire

Cheeky question i know but anyone fancy a night out tomorrow night in Mick Oshea's, we are 40 and 42 from Swansea Wales and enjoy socialising, we want to meet new people to have a laugh and a drink PM us if u fancy it Claire & Neil

Hi Does anyone know what taxis are like here? iv been told sometimes they just dont turn up!! does anyone have a reiable number for one, me and hubby was thinking of going to mick osheas for few drinks on saturday night and dont want to be stuck there!! Thanks Claire

Hi Lou and Jase, i have only just seen your post, a bit late i know! me and hubby neil have been here 6 months now, in the same boat as u guys except we have my daughter with us but shes 15 and more or less has her own life now! we have also found that everyone we meet has young kids and are in a different position to us, everyone is nice enough but we are so used to going out drinking back home with groups of friends of all ages and we def dont act our age lol, (we are 40 and 42). living in seaford rise at the moment but if you ever want to catch up for a drink let us know! Claire and Neil.x

Hi sarah i really feel for you it must be such a worry:( has he thought of life saving? we live in seaford rise and its really popular and excellant for meeting people, i also have left my two sons in the uk age 20 and 23, it nearly broke me leaving them and i miss them so much but im here with their stepdad too so at least they have someone in uk. i just look forward to when they come here to visit:) good luck with your son i hope he settles. claire

hi thanks for your message, it all must seem very new to you at the moment!! your just round the corner from us too. how old are your children? would be nice to meet up:)

hi thanks for your message! meeting you all sounds great we would love that:) not too far away from you which is good! we are missing our friends and social life back home so be nice to have a chat, what school is your daughter in? claire

Welcome! we also live in seaford rise, its lovely:) theres a few hairdressing shops in colonades which is only 10-15 minutes away, you may be lucky there. good luck with the move, im sure you will be very happy:)

Hi my daughter goes there, she loves it! its a brilliant school, teachers are wonderful and go out of their way to help your child settle in. she has made lots of lovely friends, has a lot of homework but is doing really well. Fees are reasonable compared to some other schools ,so iv been told( still hard to get used to when you have never paid them before:/ good luck, claire.

Hi my daughter started there in january, she loves it!! they interviewed us and my daughter but it was all in the same room, they asked us about religious beliefs and if we were willing to learn about theirs, also her past school, what was she good at? does she like sport etc.. most of it was like an informal chat. very nice teachers there, they cant do enough to help your child settle in, good luck.

so sorry to hear that, it must be really hard for you:( i have left my two sons in the uk aged 20 and 23, they have their own lives and as much as i miss them at least they will always have the oppertunity to come here whenever they want. my 15 yr old daughter is with us and has been very up and down settling in but finally seems to be getting there, thank god, its such a worry isnt it? your son may go back and then realise he misses australia you never know! hope everything works out for you, im always here if you need a chat.x

Hi, u will love it. We have been here since November, bit tough leaving family and friends behind but Adelaide is beautiful. Good luck with ur wedding and I guarantee the time will fly, Claire
