Dear All,

Yesterday our visas arrived and we fly out on the 18th August, movers have been, Children and cats all updated with vaccines!!

15 months of waiting....Awful...receiving visas.....priceless!

Try to stay patient everyone who is waiting, as soon as you get your visas you forget about all awaiting time.

I'll update my timeline etc soon.
