To London that is. Yep, after eight years for Andy, seven for me and not quite one for Daisy, we've decided the time is right for pastures anew. It's been a huge decision for us and a difficult one to make as we are still really happy in London but the time just seemed right. We sold the house last week and have both resigned from our jobs so it's a done deal.
I found resigning really hard and have been feeling quite down about it. I was looking forwards to returning and taking on new challenges so making the mental leap to becoming 'just' a stay at home mum has been difficult for me. I'm sure I'll get used to it but I'm going to miss work and everyone there hugely. *Sniffle*
So.......where are we off to? We want to try out a different culture for a while and looked at a number of areas including Singapore and Hong Kong but in the end settled on.......Dubai! Neither of us have been there before but it seems to be an exciting, vibrant, fast growing city offering many opportunities and a great lifestyle. We hope so anyway, if it sucks we can always leave. Andy is currently job hunting so fingers crossed.
We are still spending Christmas in New Zealand and fly out 19 December until the end of January. We aren't looking forwards to the next few weeks as we have SO much to do. The movers are coming in on December 13 and 14 and the house sale completes on the 15th. Eeek! The logistics of it all are hard enough to think about, I don't even want to start thinking about how hard it is going to be saying goodbye to all our friends. Woe.
Above is Daisy checking out where her new home will be. We've been preparing her for life on the road by singing 'The Littlest Hobo' theme tune to her. Maybe tomorrow we're gonna settle down, until tomorrow, we'll just keep moving on.
