Portsmouth to Australia!!
Author: Brian Dear | Published: 14th September 2012 01:00 |
Hi Portsmouth!,
My name is Brian Dear and my wife (Jan) and I lived in Havant Road North End, some years back.
We moved from there to, of all places Wales, and then eventually from there, left for Melbourne Australia in 1991.
We have done very well in Australia, but still well remember our UK roots......I was born in Southampton, Jan in Ivor, Buckinghamshire
I contacted AMA, about whehter we could open a 'reciprical", site in Melbourne, for ex Pats here also, but I am not sure really the value of that, except of course for the nostalgia and being able to again catch up with any friends back in the Portsmouth/Southamton area.
If anyone knows us, or wants to make contact, by all means do, either by presumably leaving a corresponding article or by sending me an email to brian_dear@hotmail.com. (that's brian (underscore) dear)
I would be very happy to give you some further lowdow on life in the "best City in the world" and anything else you wish to know about Australia, if anybody is considering visiting or indeed emigrating!!
Come to think of it, if anyone is really serious, maybe we could do a house swap for a few weeks, to let you try the local "flavour" of Australia........often just a simple suggestion like this, mgiht be the cataltyst needed to make the journey!!
So, anyone interested in any of this, do get in touch, we could also intiially have a SYPE chat if you so wish, my SKYPE details will be provided on request.
All the best ....Portsmouth!!!
