Having moved to the UK from Australia almost half a century ago, Simon MacLean had spent most of his adult life longing to return to the country he had once called home. With his sons from a previous marriage all grown up, he believed the time was right to make the move. But he needed to convince partner Jane to leave everything she had loved in the UK, including her mum.

When we first met them in 2016, Simon and Jane lived in Chester with their dog Harry. They'd been together for three years, were very happy together and loved each other to bits. Having grown up down under, mature student Simon had Australian citizenship and was desperate to pursue his dream of moving back to the other side of the world. The subject had been a constant thread throughout their relationship, and though banker Jane wasn't opposed to emigrating, she was feeling under pressure to do it sooner than she wanted.

When Simon popped the question, Jane happily said yes - but she was adamant this was not her necessarily saying yes to a life on the other side of the world. As an only child Jane could barely conceive the idea of leaving her elderly mum. Jane was torn between the two people she loved most in her life.

The trial week was Simon's long-awaited chance to convince the love of his life. But after a week of nail-biting touch-and-go moments, was it enough? Did Jane buy into Simon's Australian dream? Twelve months later it's time to see where the family are now calling home.
