The seven year itch

On this day, waaaaay back in 2004, I arrived at Heathrow with my pregnant English wife, ready to start a new life in the UK.

On the whole it’s been a pretty positive experience. I still believe that a proper English summer day nursing an ice cold Fullers Honey Beer is pretty hard to beat.

So why am I getting all homesick and nostalgic and playing ‘Sunsets’ by Powderfinger at a level that shakes the windows?

I guess, to paraphrase Peter Allen, it’s ‘cos I still call Australia home.

And always will.

(Sorry about the lame YouTube video below – it seems Powderfinger never released an official one so all I could find is this ‘fan’ one!)
