It was a bad summer this year in the UK though. We left the UK in July and came across to South Australia and the weather was warmer in Australia in the Winter than the Summer we had just left in the UK! And yes the Aussies were complaining how cold it was
If your sadness is going to be the focus (that may not be the right word) then think carefully before moving. There are lots of stories on other forums about people having to move back because they can't be away from their families. I spent most of the last 2 days crying because my parents have just gone back to the UK after being in Australia for a month. I miss them already and they haven't even landed back in the UK yet! However I also know that I love it here in Oz, and now I have more determination to get some other things I've been working in (online business, share trading, property...) to produce more income so that either they can visit me and we can visit them.
I know that skype and a webcam is not the same, but I do treasure the time I spend with them and I don't take them for granted now like I used to when I saw them all the time.
Sorry this is turning into a novel too.
We are all different so you need to decide what is right for you.
Good luck!
