for those of us who moved overseas, i would like to hear from those of us who had no idea that we were going to go away for so long. time fly's.
we came to australia on the 10 pound scheme, sounded great, going around the world for 10 quid, wow. and just for 2 years. then the reality kicked in, if you didn't like it, you had to pay your own way home and also the fare for coming out. lots of money. so after two years, no one i met had the money to go home, so you saved and saved, and by the time you saved some money, it was too late, you were intrenched in living in a new country and decided to go home some time later.
well, now its been 45 years and im still dreaming of going home for good.
just wont happen, now that the children have grown up and we have the grandchilren to think about. ah well, its just a wee thought that goes through my mind.
iv'e heard of missing the boat,
well, we missed the boat !
