My daughter lives there, having married an Australian, so didn’t emigrate.
Not everyone lives near a beach, or has a pool, and as DD points out, there are still the everyday humdrum aspects of life wherever you are.
Work, childcare, housework, cooking, shopping, gardening all have to be done.
The weather can be unbearably hot. They also have bush fires of course, and flooding occasionally. As for the flies.....
DD has been there over 20 years, her life is there, but I know that at times she misses home so much.
She once said she likes to watch Midsomer Murders, “Just to see the English countryside”.
