You have decided to emigrate, where are you going to live?

I’ve already done this. My husband and I emigrated from England to Australia fifty years ago. We had one child with us, our daughter, Sarah, who was just three years old at the time.

We chose Australia because of the weather, it’s as simple as that. We were quite successful at the time of making that decision. We were 28 years old and had two businesses, our own home and lived next door to my parents. It was such an adventure though. We hardly had time to reconsider before our application to reside in Australia was accepted. It was a move we didn’t really regret but there was a lot of homesickness in the first year. I think maybe if we had our time again we may have gone to live in the Eastern States instead of Perth in the West. Western Australia is so isolated,in fact Perth is the most isolated city in the world. It has had its advantages though especially in the Covid pandemic.
