10 December 2010 Moving To Australia

Two blog posts in one today, totally unrelated. First up…. How would you like to get your fizzog the box? I’ve been contacted by a man called Peter Beard who is a documentary film producer in the UK and has been commissioned by ITV to make an eight part series about moving to Australia. His [...]

22 November 2010 Entertainment Australia

A major concern for many people thinking of moving to Australia is will I miss my friends? Will I make new friends?

Moving to Australia and Missing England

10 September 2010 Australia's Bad Things

The other day I was looking for something on my own blog and couldn’t find it. “That’s not good” I thought. If I can’t find it, who can? As I am a very sharp cookie indeed, it didn’t take me long to work out the problem. You see, I was looking for something in my [...]

But first…… Breaking News! This just in…. Details are still a little bit hazy, but apparently, yesterday, this country discovered who won the election and consequently, who is running the country.
