How times flies. Ten years ago today, I touched down in Australia from my beloved Britain, to start a new life in Perth. And while, at times, it’s been tough upheaving my entire life… I’ve never looked back.

I’ve loved, I’ve lost, I’ve grown and I’ve encountered experiences beyond my wildest dreams. I feel truly blessed to lead the life I now have Down Under, and I’m so grateful, thankful and appreciative of every memory made with every wonderful human I’ve met along the way… I’m excited for what the coming years hold, the memories still to be created, and the beautiful souls I’m yet to meet in this incredible country.

I also pledge to maintain my absolute AWE of seeing colourful parrots adorning the skies, every single day. Australiana, I promise to never underestimate the privilege of being in your breathtaking presence.

I’m so appreciative of my incredible family who paved the way for my Aussie adventure, and the remarkable collective of friends I’ve gained along the way. But above all, I’m grateful for my soulmate from another hemisphere, David. You are my entire world, my heart, and my destiny, sweetheart – I’m eternally thankful for you.

Also, our petting zoo. Which, IMO, is still a llama short.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie… Oi, oi, oi! 🇬🇧🩷🇦🇺
