What do you miss...if anything?

[newtoOZ]

I'm getting visitors from home. I'm not sure if that will make things better or worse. Right now, I'm just assuming it will pass.

For me........it made it worse to be honest......but it passes a couple of days after they leave

I missed meeting up with my mates, especially over Christmas when they were all getting together. I know I will make new friends but I've known them for over 30 years and that is not something you can replace easily!

And I miss sausages too. We have a butcher in town who will be making British sausages soon!

I miss being able to get things easily but that's because we are in a rural town and I have to remember that Saturday is half day closing with most of the shops (except the supermarkets).

I had my parents over in November and that definitely made things harder for all of us when they went back. They are even slightly 'homesick' for Australia but that could be just because it's winter in the UK.

Hopefully i won't miss too much but i know i will miss Scotland the most - just Scotland the country, especially if everything works out in Oz as we plan, then i'm not sure if we will ever see Scotland again, so very sad about that but looking to have a go at a whole new culture!

Have you ever driven around South London? The driving here in South Australia is far better
