The road signs are enough to put me off Australia

It's never too late Geordieboy ns. One of my few travel ambitions was to visit Australia.

The chance came in early 2020, when my wife said we should really visit Aus, to visit her brother (who was working in the British embassy in Canberra) and take her Mum.

Wohoo, I thought. Got it all arranged, flights/hire car/hotels/internal flights/stop-over in Singapore on the way back.......flew the 2 of them out there, I was to join them later, due to work comitments...and....

COVID hit, Australia closed it's borders the day I was due to fly out to join them.... had to cancel my flights, and spent a LONG time, re-arranging flights to get them both back....

But I WILL get to Ozz.... one day soon..

Malcolm,covid threw a damper into a lot of plans, glad your family returned from Australia healthy and wish you well with your bucket list.At the moment I would be very happy to hug my five siblings in the UK and walk the Shields Pier. SHEILA, Sounds like your older sister carried out your Mums wishes. My first and only Sheila as in Aussy was my first dance partner,puppy love,we spe t hours on the dance floor.

The few AUstralian Sheila's I've met over the years were supper friendly and out going. As my wise old Granny would say, if the shoe fits wear it, thank your sister for a good choice in names.

Memories

GeordieboyNS, my lovely sister was 21 when I was born. She was so excited about a new baby my second sister was 18 and she was very annoyed. I have to say they were both so loving and kind and adored my girls. I lost my dear Mum when I was 29 and I never knew until years later, she told my sisters to always look after me, which they did. We all have lovely memories of our Mums.
