Let me begin

So I find myself on the first leg of a long journey.  I'm leaving London and moving to Australia with my girlfriend Alicia.  Although we are currently rattling our way down the piccadilly line and it all feels quite normal, we hope to travel from here around Viet Nam and Cambodia before starting a new chapter in Melbourne. 

I will write this blog as we go, for friends and family who want to see what we are up to and for anyone else who might be thinking about moving down under but has got as far in their plans as reading blogs. 

So that's all for now!
