Who are we?

We are Dan and Becks. Just over 5 years ago we both individually arrived in Australia on a backpacking adventure. Within a few weeks we 'hooked up' in Sydney and spent our year-long working holiday visa falling in love with Australia.

When our visa expired, we returned to London where we settled for a couple of years. However, within a few months of getting back to the UK we both realised that Australia was calling us back... We looked into migration options and after a grueling two-year process we returned as permanent residents. The Great Escape tells of our migration experience and first year in South Australia.

Year two of our time in South Australia was focussed on building our new home in the beautiful wine region of Mclaren Vale. Wine has always been a joint interest and the excitement of moving to a wine region is undescribable.

We are now embarking on a new chapter in our lives together - a chapter that we have nicknamed "Living the dream". This blog will aim to capture our time spent in Mclaren Vale - the places we go, the things we love and our general musings of life as it currently stands!

Enjoy,
Dan & Becks x

PS. By no means is this blog meant to provide a review of Mclaren Vale or any kind of critique. We love everything about this place and simply want to capture the stuff we do. If we don't like something, it won't feature on the blog - it's as simple as that!

Worth the wait

Have just returned from an evening at Russell's Pizza in Willunga. Loved the casual atmosphere, BYO fabulous McLaren Vale wines, and the never ending pizza...

Managed to just squeeze a table for four in by booking just over a month ago but well worth the wait!
