Greetings from Down Under

Hi everyone and anyone, I'm Bill Kerrisons daughter and I live In South Australia. I'm divorced and I have 3 children Tom 241/2 , Victoria 23 aand Rebecca almost 17. I've never had the pleasure of meeting my cousin John but I think the work he's done on our family tree is fantastic. I'd love to get to know more of the Kerrison clan and I think this will be a great way of doing it. I was back in the UK last October but never knew of John and his family or I would have arranged a meeting. If and when I come over again I'll post it on here. Thats if I'm doing this right its take me ages to get to here........lol I know how to use a computer but I'm no expert...................I lived in Australis 21 years now and managed to survive a divorce with no family around me. At time I would of loved to come back to the UK but I don't think I could ever afford a home there now. Please do contact me and I will happily write to any of you. I work for the education department over here and I run a primary school library., this covers years Reception to seven.
Where I live in South Australia for those of you who don't know much about the place is a Very quiet state, unlike Sydney(New South Wales),Melbourne(Victoria),Perth(Western Australia or Gold Coast(Queensland) I live an hour north of Adelaide(the capital city of S.A.) I live on the edge of the Barossa Valley where some of the most beautiful wine comes fromwhich is sent all around the world and forund in Sainsburys and Asda.........lol
Alas none of my close family infact none of my family have ever been over to visit me so I feel very alone here and cut off from my relatives. All I have is my 3 children, but as and when money is available I do come back to visit. My son Tom works in a wineary, Victoria just finshed her Child care diploma and Rebecca is in year 12. They are all single at this stage
Well thats all for now, do drop me a line and I look forward to meeting some of you soon....
