100 days until we leave for Australia.
On occasion I feel trepidation, more so as the big day approaches. More often though I feel excitement and happiness inside. However, this internal happiness is bordering on smugness, an attitude which I loathe in others, so I'm constantly trying to suppress it.
The weather is improving in the UK by the day and, by all accounts, we're in for a scorcher this summer. I was feeling particularly smug the other day when I was thinking about the year ahead. With any luck by the time we leave, on 23rd July, we'll have enjoyed a nice summer here and with only a month or so to 'tough out' before the Aussie summer begins, we face almost a complete year in the full glare of the sun.
A year of summer! That'll do me nicely.
In other news we've had two sets of 'movers' round. Brittania Cestrian came first and have quoted us £3850 (approx. A$9625) for a twenty foot container from Rhyl to Albury. We were very impressed with their representative but think the price is a bit steep.
Godiva Enterprises came next but seem a lot less professional and organised but are a grand cheaper.
You get what you pay for I suppose, so it could be a case of seeing what we can afford. We'll get a couple more quotes and take it from there. If any of you out there in Blogland have got any advice or recommendations on movers then I'd appreciate any feedback.

So, what brings you to Australia, Craig? You got a job lined up?
I reckon you might be waiting a little while for summer to come in Albury mate! Nice place, but not tropical, at least not in August when I see you are due to arrive.
Hope you keep updating your blog because I'll be keen to see how you go.
Cheers,
Geoff
Tasmania, AUS
Thanks for the comments Geoff
No, no jobs lined up yet. We're hopeful that we'll find something in Sunny Albury!
Why Australia?
We like sun, we like easy going, friendly folks. Where better?
Cheers mate,
Craig.
