'cos I'm leaving on a jet plane, I know that I won't be back again...

...at least for a while.

For those that don't know, Ashley and I have decided to move back to the UK. The decision is a combination of things relating to money, life style, opportunity...all sorts.

We've been working towards making Ashley's VISA application, but we finally took the decision to book Ashley's flight to the UK. The price increases we've seen, in line with seat availability means that it really made a lot of sense to go ahead and book that now.

So we're booked, and raring to go.

We have a request in with my company to cover some of the costs for our travel (shipping). And we're trying to cover the rest as best we can (never easy, is it).

I'm really looking forward to getting back actually, over time you realise that you miss a little more than you first care to admit, and sometimes it's going home that brings that to the front of your mind.

We're currently planning on getting back just before Alan & Lucy's big day, and we'll be settling in the North East at least until we get a little more settled.

We'll be looking to 'bye' everyone, but in case we miss seeing some people over the next few months, don't be offended ;)
