Hello ladies. Can I pick up on this thread?! I live in Grange and we arrived in January, I am 45 and my boys are 12 and 16. I love the city and also the cafe culture near us. Would love to find some friends interested in... shopping, film, theatre and of course wine and food! I used to belong to a book group in the UK so that would also be a real bonus.

We have also taken the plunge and bought our first home in this area. We are breaking lease on 97 Marlborough St. Older type house so really big rooms, rumpus, great garden. Open for viewing next weekend, our landlady has advertised on Gumtree and will put in Advertiser but happy to pass on her number. our boys walk to school from here and it is an easy bus/drive to city and surrounding areas. We love the area so much we have bought two streets away! Wendy

No problem.

Hi all, we are hoping to rent this property (vieweed and applied yesterday) or at least one like it as we want to bring our dog over from wales in June and our landlord will only allow pets outside.We are breaking lease on a large 3 bed 2 bathroom on Marlborough St Henley Beach , walking distance to Beach, square, Henley High School and Fulham North Primary. It has wood floors throughout, large rumpus and good sized back garden. We would be happy to stay but we are desperate for our pooch to join us! We are paying 420 dollars a week.If anyone is interested it may offer a more flexible way of securing a property for arrival in June.Wendy

Hi Geoff just a note to thank you again for introducing Matt to the u18 Toros. We have been so impressed with the standard of coaching and professionalism that the club maintains. Here's to a successful season. Anyone out there still considering a club I would highly recommend!

That's great. Look forward to seeing you there.

Geoff great to have your reply and enthusiasm! Matt turned 16 last October so would play U18s. Shall we bring him Fri this week?? Wendy and Tony maybe we could PM and swap tel no's??

Hi all, we dropped out of this site for a while there! So quick update... we arrived Jan 2nd, have rented a pproperty in Henley Beach and our container arrived yesterday! Matt 16 has started Y11 at Henley High, Calum 12 is going to Fulham North primary. I got a job this week too so things are good except.... for the sport:wacko: Calum is hoping to start with Brighton Rugby Union but matt is struggling to find a soccer club. Are the Western Toros still looking for U18?? Anyother clubs close to western suburbs that could do with a strong corner taking wing back!? Calum has made a few friends and although matt has no mates outside school yet he has found the school kids friendly. Hubby to get a job now hopefully and we'll be rolling! So far so good and we are loving our new life, what a great time to arrive, heatwaves, Fringe and floods! Scriv

Thanks! We arrive Jan 2nd houses and jobs to sort but Matt's soccer and Cal's rugby are also priorities!

Wish you every success! Hoping to find a club for Matt closer to Henley. have a great holidays and here's to plenty of goals in 2014! scrivs

WE DID IT! PR visas in an email at 6.30 am! We cried with relief! container booked for Last week of Nov and holiday cottage booked for Xmas.... Booking flights today for January

Matt played his last district match for East Gwent in the cold and wet last night and they won 4-1 let the sunny Soccer Years commence!

Thanks for your responses guys I took a look at a few of the links and it has made Matt and Cal feel a lot happier about our move. That is interesting re. WFA retired secretary I shall do some research... Pushy mother!

That sounds promising! My 16 year old son is playing district level here in Wales and we are due to arrive in January. He is worried the clubs will all be full! My 12 year old plays county level rugby union ...?

BTW we lived in Usk Monmouthshire!
