Day to Day happenings in my life

Digging deep

As a child I was a real scaredy-cat. Everything used to frighten me, I was shy and timid.
We made a massive decision when I was twenty eight to leave England and emigrate to Australia. At that time my husband and I along with our three year old daughter lived next door to my parents. We had a built in baby sitter and everyone I knew had known me since childhood.
We knew no one in Australia, we had no job to go to and didn’t really know much about the country. From somewhere I found the courage to leave everything and everyone I knew.

It was a good decision in the end but it was not easy. My children grew up without extended family and I often needed their help, but it made me strong and brave.
