Restarick Family
A trial week in Adelaide was Richard's chance to convince his wife and daughter to make a move around the world. One year on, where do they call home?
Ever since a holiday in Australia in his twenties, Richard Restarick had been keen to make a permanent return to the country. But plans to emigrate were put on hold ten years ago after he met the love of his life, Nieva, online.
As their relationship blossomed, Nieva left her home country of the Philippines to join Richard in the UK. After struggling to settle initially, she had grown to love her new life in England and had forged a close-knit group of friends.
But tough times running a business had seen Richard's thoughts return to emigrating down under, and he firmly believed the country could offer his wife and his daughter, Izzy, a brighter future. Nieva, however, wasn't interested in upping sticks and starting again in a new country for a second time and was worried Richard's dreams could drive them into poverty - something she had experienced in her childhood.
A trial week in Adelaide helped Richard convince Nieva they could be happy in Australia, but Izzy was less impressed, and the thought of leaving family and friends saw her vote to stay in the UK.
So, one year on, have the family made the move or decided to stay put in the UK?

Restarick family update
The Restarick family are still happily living in Thetford. Nieva is now working more hours in the business so that her mother in law doesn鈥檛 have to work as much. Richard now has every weekend off thanks to his team of mechanics so the family can spend much more time together. They have enrolled Izzy in private school which she is very excited about starting and the family are enjoying being close to all of their family and friends in the UK. We wish them all the best for the future!
