Well, as you have already found from Rob it was not exactly ideal weather in Australia. However, since there is a terrible drought we shan’t complain, shall we Rob?

We had a great if rushed time in Australia, wish we had more time to see people but it was a bit of a whirlwind. It was good to finally visit the Sydney Opera house for the first time in my life! We even got to see the Sydney Symphony and the Sydney Ballet rehearsing. Awesome!

Spain was quite idyllic, weather started out a bit overcast but fined up and we had a great time. We visited a couple of villages up in the mountains as well as had a trip to Gibraltar which is a very bizarre place! The flamenco evening at the resort was also lots of fun. I think I put on heaps of weight from all the amazing food.

Now we are trying to get back to reality here in Britain. I have been looking to see whether there are many dental technician jobs here in England and the answer seems to be, not really. It’s early days, though, and I am not seriously looking since I don’t have a visa to work yet. The jobs that are advertised would take us further north and we are reluctant to make such a big move. We’ll just have to wait on the Lord and see where He leads!

Well, that’s about it for now. We will keep you posted on our next change of plans!

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.
