Hi everyone – This post may surprise a few of you!
We’ve been keeping a little secret from you….we are no longer in Australia as we have flown to Cyprus to surprise Marc and Jo for their wedding which is taking place on Monday 11th June here in the sunny mediteranean.
Sorry we didn’t mention anything before on the blog, but it was very important to us that it remained a complete surprise and that Marc didn’t even have an idea. We want to apologise to you for a few red herrings on the blog. We didn’t actually go to Hervey Bay as we wanted to give the impression to Marc and Jo that we were continuing with our journey up the coast for work, when we were in fact heading back down the coast towards Brisbane aiport in preparation for flying home.
It became evident to us a while ago that we would not be staying in Australia permantely as I, Liz, was unable to commit at this point. As our money was running low, we chose to come home early and make ourselves available for Lee’s brothers wedding and what a shock it has been for them! It’s been the best decision we’ve made and we certainly didn’t disappoint.
We’re here in Cyrus for two weeks in total and are really looking forward to sharing Marc and Jo’s special day with them. We plan to put some pictures on the blog shortly.
We wil be arriving back in England on 21st June and moving back with my mum and dad until we get our feet back on the ground again (i.e. work) and will be moving back into our little house in Colchester.
I hope you can all understand our reasons for coming home. We’ve had an amazing 5 months in Australia and have seen what the country has to offer us. We arn’t ruling out a future in Australia just yet, we just needed to come home before we make the biggest decision of our lives.
