hi just a little bit of Wardle news from a far.Jason and Samantha Keay and family have set up home in Ocian Reef, Perth, Western Australia totally by coincidence 2 streets away from us are our friends Peter and Janett Warren and family (class mates from primary school) 5 minits drive away from Lisa Smith (same class at St James CofE ) so three of us from the same class at Wardle St James'  Jason,Peter and Lisa, are together on the other side of the world together.. And also about 5 mins drive away are Kim and Joy Martin who are from Perth but lived in Wardle for a year until 3 months ago on an exchange from Australia, is that a big coincidence?  Well there's more..Sheila at Highfield Hospital was my last boss in UK and lived in Rockingham South Perth WA for 10 yrs and I met her best mate Ally when she finaly came to UK to visit Sheila and now I work with Ally in the same hospital .

Dear Julie, Yes its ok by me, there is another couple, David Birtwhistle and his wife who have been here on holiday and are planning to come over to live here next year, and they stayed with an Australian couple, Kim (Bloke) and Joy who are close friends of ours and Davids from when they came to live in England for a year (Last year). Joy is a nurse and worked with my wife and Davids wife at Birch Hill. Also another friend and former work collegue Sheila Oliver is a recovery room sister at Highfield Hospital...she lived here for 10 years and is planning to come back and her best mate from England works with me at Joondalup hospital Perth, and I met here at Highfield last year when she came over to visit Sheila, (she hadnt been back to the UK for over 10 years.) so there are a lot of incredible coincidences but you know in this part of Australia, Perth and in particular northern subs there are more Poms than Australians almost every day at work I meet people from Sale, Oldham, West Yorkshire so yes pack your bags and come and have a look at this place you will feel at home here with all the Wardle folk and all these bloody pom lol ..
