In a few weeks, Darrell will be returning to his home country of Australia, for six months. Darrell will be caring for his Mother and also working to fund our home in Spain. We will be living apart, for the first time in our 21 years together. After such a long time, we are well able to sustain a long distant relationship, for part of each year.
The time is not yet right for me to return to Perth. The visa situation, is intolerable. Even after 21 years, the Australian Government refuse to accept our Marriage, and there would be a long process of applications, over many years. The costs involved would run into thousands of dollars, which we would be better off saving for our future.
Getting a decent job in Spain is difficult. I want to eventually teach children, but will have to pay for a qualification first. Darrell will be able to earn far more in a week, then quite simply someone can earn in a month here. In reality, him spending time between Australia and Spain, is a no brainer, especially at the moment, with his Mother being ill. Eventually we will end up in one country or the other, but for now, this is the best option, for all of us.
I will up date this Australian section of my blog, as and when I speak to Darrell. Thank you for your continued support. Keep reading!
