Nothing like leaving things to the last minute...

Beneath all our recent travels has run an undercurrent that I dared not describe until we knew the outcome. But today I can. Anthony was just two days away from returning to Australia alone, when the happy news came that the Work Permit my employer has been seeking to enable me to stay on had at last come through!

We’re still not sure whether we are on our heads or our a*ses, but our bags are packed and we are bound for the 2am bus from Oxford to Heathrow, and thence to Melbourne. Marriage and more paperwork await, but we hope that in 3 short weeks we will both be back in the UK, having caught up with the people we love. Needless to say, dear readers of the Antipodes, there will be a bed for you all whenever you desire it!
