My little brother and his wife emigrated to Australia about five years ago. My niece was only 2 at the time and they felt that the quality of life and standard of living would be better over there. They assured us that it’s a fantastic place to bring up kids and, having visited, I can totally see what they meant. They raved about the weather, the fact that they could get a much bigger house, that they’d be close to the beach, lots of surfing, BBQs etc. And five years on, they still love it.
Of course, as the days get colder and the nights draw in here, the exact opposite is happening in Perth so when I spoke to my brother at the weekend I expected to come off the phone green with envy at his laid back, sun filled lifestyle. But no, because apparently he'd spent the day pricing up mulch for the garden!
