The countdown is on, less than a few months until we pack up our beautiful life in Australia and relocate to the northern hemisphere. Who knows what awaits us on the other side of the equator? We have both now officially given our notice at work, started to tell friends of our plans and prettyContinue reading “With Spring comes change”
