I like living here but I just like the look of cheaper housing up north, there seems to be a lot more going on plus more open spaces - and less traffic lol! Still I'm not ready for any more upheaval right now so I'll stay put and see what transpires - you never know what's around the corner

Funny thing I was in Tescos this morning and saw some Phish Food ice cream - made me think of you ha ha! Glad things are going well for you too, hope your family are settling back in as well x
Yep it's gorgeous here when the suns out. We have meadows behind our house which is great for dog walking and just time to myself when needed. Like you I suffer with depression and although it's lifted a lot since being home, I still have days that for no particular reason I just feel down.

Ha ha I lurve Phish Food!

I don't have enough thumbs for this thread! Awesome update Miss Betty, and you're right, time flies! It's been just over a year for me now, seems like five minutes. All the best for the next year!

Yep I hear you, my depression is better but creeps up on me now and again, I never had it before I emigrated so hoping time will heal and all that. Hopefully as time goes on and now you are home the 'black dog' will be less of a visitor in your life too

Tonight an old friend called me after I messaged her on Facebook and we talked for 2 hours - just brilliant! She mentioned two other friends I'd not seen for years and said they'd been asking about me and want to meet up for drinks, honestly I can't tell you how much that meant to me - put a smile back on my face!

Tell you what though - I came back with 2 cubic metres of stuff, and now I have a #(&%)#(%)# house full! How did that happen? We must have reverse burglars!

Ha ha!!! I got rid of loads of stuff and then more when I got back, my flat felt like a dolls house when I walked back in after living in a massive open plan Aussie house! Love my little home though, its so cozy and I love sitting in the bay window with a cuppa spying on people below (I'm on the 3rd floor) - so funny what you see and hear, its better than the telly!!!!

Ah, Miss B you need to take up knitting! I've met some lovely new friends through local knitting groups - and they're not all aged wrinklies like myself! We're a really mixed bunch with a common passion and enjoy making stuff whether over a coffee or glass of red! And I always thought knitting was a solitary activity until I came here!

Unfortunately I have always suffered with depression but while in Canada it totally escalated to a point I couldn't control it.
Here's hoping you recover as it sounds like yours was situational depression.

Great news about your old friends wanting to meet up. This will really give you a boost and help you feel a sense of place at home
