At long last, the wait is over. The worrying and the agonising (probably all unfounded, but indirectly justified) are at an end - we have been granted permanent residence in Australia. Strange though that this comes on the eve of the elections in South Africa….coincidence? (I really hope that all goes well with the elections and I remain rather nervous for the outcome.)

I feel as if a massive weight has been lifted from me - I quite literally felt light-headed when I heard the news. Of course we had to celebrate - and we managed to end up at a restaurant that featured Nederburg Pinotage on the menu - I’ll have to go back for that (it somehow didn’t seem fitting to celebrate with a South African wine!).
