Well quick intro, names Terrier live in Chicagoland been here for 3 years came on the K1 route, what fun that was!!!!!

So I am heading home after nearly 4 years over here for the first time in November, weather crap, flight cheap!!!!

I booked my flight right after the bombing of London, just made me want to go home and having not felt any tinge of homesickness since I got here since the bombings have been racked with homesickness. Wife can't understand it, and to be honest I can't either???
I have a great house, great life here in terms of material things and job etc. but still feel very honesick the last 2 weeks.
What kind of experience have other British expats had of this homesickness. Things I miss are things like going to the match, TV, radio (listening online but not quite the same), newspapers, left wing polotics if there is any left in the UK any more!!!???, going for a walk in the country, hills and the people to name just a few.

Any words of advice, I'm not thinking of upping sticks and not comming back when I go in November but don't know if it (going back) will be a good or bad thing???

Hello welcome to the site!
Most people are homesick every now and then. Me included. Moving back to the UK forum is a good one to have a butchers at. Where did you get the cheap flight from by the way?

Yeah, I looked into the moving back to the UK forum and really don't think I should have, everyone in there is just saying how great it is to be back, I guess if you moved back and wished you haddent you would'nt post there.

Have a feeling that reading any more of those posts will make me feel worse!!

Thanks for the advice though.

I try to avoid the temptation of going into that forum cos everyone who posts in there wants to move back, so it tends to be quite negative. I would say that, in your situation (i.e. with a USC wife who doesn't want to move to the UK) you are better off concentrating on the good things about the US.

I think there are some...
