      Things we are looking forward to.

      All of the many that return to the UK probably do so for different reasons but I would imagine that family, familiarity, work are right at the top of the list of reasons.
      It is no different for us really although most of my family is in Australia. For us there is just something about England that we just can't find in Australia, things that are actually quite difficult to pinpoint. We want a more stimulating life I suppose, I miss the social life very much and have never in all our years here been able to get even close to it. We miss the freedom to do the things we find important so we are very much looking forward to getting that freedom back.
      We are very much looking forward to the 'job' I have lined up, not really a job as it is a partnership and will be far more enjoyable than working for the man
      Looking forward to the beautiful pubs in the area we are going back to, all the good ones are still there and the bad ones seem to have been weeded out.
      Looking forward to seeing all our great longterm friends that are more like family.
      Really looking forward to shooting across to Europe for a long weekend or just a day trip.
      Cant wait to see the wonderful countryside again.
      There will also be lots of things I wont like just as there is here but rough with the smooth.
      Soon to be back in the undisputed NUMBER 1 country in the world.....ENGLAND.

      No it's not top secret, I am going into partnership with a reptile breeder, one of the biggest in Europe. It is my passion so combined with being able to live back in the UK it really is my idea of nirvana.

      Is that going to bring you the money in? A good breeder breeds for quality not the money. I lost 45,000gbp on my breeding program that's just with the ones I bought not including care/food etc. I could have easily pumped more in to it, I never got it back.

      Wow, what were you into, I had no idea ? Yes you can certainly make a living out of it especially as this is a well established business. Quality is the first aim and with quality comes profit. The only way we could look at doing it is to be mortgage free which we are hoping to be. My wife will work for a little while until we get going. It's basically what I have been doing here for the last few years. I am intrigued now.

      Well I never got rich just in to debt, anything I made got ploughed straight back in to my breeding lines.
