About this blog

After 6 ½ years living in Bermuda, having a ball, we have decided that this island has become somewhat too small. We are leaving great friends and our jobs behind, to see what else in the world we can find. We are writing this blog so you can keep up with our news, look at our photos, even post your own views. We know it's an experience we will never forget, we're just hoping we won't come back too much in debt !! So we hope you enjoy it, because we think it'll be great, we'll see you back in the UK in July 2008 !
