I will miss Autumn and Winter. I can't really describe why I say that, but I just know it won't be the same. The muddy trails, Autumn colours followed by the dull grey woods with no leaves on the trees and the iwnd cold and whilstling through. Wrapping up warm with scarf, hat and gloves. Getting back in after getting cold and wet and then sitting in front of the TV with the fire on, drinking hot chocolate while the rain hammer against the glass. I don't claim to understand why I'll miss these things, but I know that I will.
March 2007 - Wow, we finally have a visa and can effectively go at any time!
I have now made it public knowledge at work about our plans to leave the country. Everybody has been very understanding and supportive. Although i have not been at Westgarth for very long (9 months) I have made some good friends and will find leaving quite emotional.
It feels weird now.....I just want it to happen. I want to sort out a job and pack up, throw out all the stuff that we no longer need and I want to go. i am sure that this will change as we get closer to the crunch date.
although I am now keen to leave, I am starting to realise how little time is left. I worked out tonight that if i am lucky I will see close friends a couple of times more before we go and other people (that I don't see often enough anyway) maybe once more! Aarrgggghhh. thats scary........they better come to Oz on holiday.
