We are now back in Reading, after returning from Australia and then a few days after flying to Spain for the honeymoon.

There was better weather on offer in Spain than we had in Australia - sunny and warm most of the time after a slow start to the week. We fitted in a visit to Gibraltar and had one of the apes that live on the Rock of Gibraltar climb over both of our heads! Being in Spain also gave us time away from both the UK and Australia to think and decide for sure where we hope to live for the next period of time (however long that might be).

We decided that we will make a home in the UK to begin with (pending Dawn’s spouse visa application). Currently Dawn is waiting for her new passport (updated to show her new last name) before the visa application is made. Part of the decision of living in the UK also includes a move away from Reading at some point during the next 6 months - we hope to use the remaining time in Reading to save up before renting a place in England. We will, for now at least, keep the house in Brisbane and continue to rent it out.

I’m now looking for work, and during this time before Dawn can do the same she is practising her painting.
