After two children and a lot of deliberation my partner and I decided to head back to New Zealand. She has lived here for 24 years which is longer than she'd lived in NZ. I have lived here for 11 years, and overseas for 8 years before that. The longest I've lived in any country as a fully functioning adult.
Sydney has been great to us but, amongst other things, you don't get much for your money here when it comes to housing and daycare is ludicrously expensive. The other gripe for me is that the forefathers of Sydney were wise people, creating wonderful parks, foreshore and pretty choice bridges but the current account holders seem to be doing their best to run this beautiful city into the ground. They are horrendously corrupt and should be hung and quartered.
At the end of the day, though, it comes down to family and wanting my kids to know their grandparents and their cousins. So here we are packing our bags ready for the big move across the ditch.
I've never written a blog before and being a procrastinator till the end of time I hope I stick with it and I can use this as an exercise to increase my brain function and I may even get some satisfaction. Talk soon.
