Well, we are Heathrow terminal 3 awaiting Singapore Airlines SQ397 18.30 to Singapore Changi to open its gates to receive us. We don’t know what will happen on the other side. Oh my God! We have no jobs, we have no home, we are both no longer young, we are playing fast and loose with our children’s future. What are we thinking?! Breath in, breath out. Feel the panic lose its edge. Slightly.
Jenns Aunt and Uncle have put us up for the last two nights in Cheam. They are smashing people and made us very welcome and showed us the sites. Never realised there was so much history still there in hidden Cheam. We loved the Buddhist Temple in Wimbledon. They were preparing for Thai New Year and the Camellias and magnolias were in bloom. Just such a beautiful, tranquil place. Remembering it is calming. Which is good, because right now I think my heart is about to pound its way out of its cavity. Sean doesn’t look to lively either. The boys are untouched by any of this fear and are shiny eyed and chatty with excitement.
The call has just gone out. This is it. Time to jump.
The Monahans have left the building.

In 2009, for many reasons that we wont go into here, we took the family decision that it was high time that we had our next big adventure. Its taken a year to sort out but finally, on April 11th 2010, we leave Blighty and family and freinds for a new life in New Zealand. This blog is for us to keep telling our story to those we leave behind and for those we leave behind to know that we miss them and they are in our thoughts.
