The First of the Lasts

Image
With Christmas rapidly approaching I am coming up to the first of my UK lasts; the last UK Christmas! The last cold, wet, grim, sitting-in-front-of-the-telly-'cause-there's-nothing-else-to-do Christmas! Christmas 2010 will involve being on a beach at some point in the day! Mrs Paulky tells me she has never been on the beach at Christmas, so I think it's time to start a new tradition! I'm sure it will still involve copious amounts of food, only cooked on the ubiquitous BBQ! Just a little over four months until I make my visa validation visit and the house should go on the market next month, so things are starting to move in the right direction: i.e. southwards!

Fame At Last!

Much to my surprise I find that this month I am featured in the current issue of Australia and New Zealand Magazine . I did a bit of a blog post on their website a while back on how lucky I was to get my visa (I find out recently that the criteria for all migrant visas changed in September and mine would probably have slipped down the pile somewhat; some visas are not being looked at until 2012, and the world may have ended by then!). There was also some feedback from another poster there and my replies to her, all of which have ended up in the Mag! So anyone coming here after seeing that, welcome! There really isn't much to see here, but leave a comment and I'll try and help if I can. I'm not a migration agent, just someone who went through the Spousal visa process and came out the other side, victorious! No other news to report at the moment, just gearing up for my last UK Christmas!
