Have you moved away from Sheffield?

[Cycleracer 10]

I often get an urge to move away from Sheffield not because i don,t like it here but to broaden or change a life style i have been acustomed to for 43 years.

I would like to hear from anyone who has done that and where and what they are doing now.

I am a family man so stories from single people who have moved to Ibiza for a better nightlife and more birds is,nt relevant in my case.

Have you moved abroad or stayed in this country, Is it the best thing you ever did or can,t wait to get back to Sheffield.

All your stories would be welcome wether they are horror stories or pure bliss and any recomendations would also be adeared to.

Yes I moved away from Sheffield in 1972, spent 2 years inS.Africa, then moved to Australia where I live now, very happily with my wife, 3 children and 9 grand children. I would'nt live any where else Ausralia is the best place on earth. I am originally from Eckington and my wife from Rotherham. Had many hollidays back in UK but I would not like to live there these days. Still follow S. Wednesday, although I have to say what has happened to them they go from bad to worse.
