We're here and we made it to London! We're staying in a little town called Sutton in Surrey, south of London with our lovely friends Kyle and Kelly. Our flights went really smoothly and we got to catch up on a lot of movies we've been wanting to see. :)
Today, our first day here, we've been setting our selves up with phone sim cards, bank accounts and national insurance numbers. The weather at the moment is very mild for mid-winter. Its chilly, sure, but not nearly as cold as we were expecting. Its overcast and grey, but not raining at the moment.
A lot of people have been asking us what our reasons are for moving to London and what we plan to do here. I know a few of you already know our plans, if you do, this is one of those times that you're not obliged to read further.
Both Frans and I have been wanting to do quite a bit of travelling, and have felt like it would be interesting to live in another country for a while. After discussing the options and discovering that we qualified for an Ancestry visa to the UK, we thought that living for a few years in London sounded like a good idea. I've explained in a previous post why Frans is suited to working in London. And with me being a teacher, I can pretty much work any where.
I have secured a job for a few months at a Catholic school in West London. I'll be covering a maternity leave and so its a fixed term contract. Frans has been in touch with recruiters and hopes to secure a contracting position doing pretty much what he was doing in SA.
We're so excited to be here and looking forward to the new adventures and learning curves.
