Back from the UK
Well we got back from sunny birmingham yesterday, havnt been on expats at all.....have I missed anything???
Had a fantastic time, but very chaotic. In retrospect 2 weeks wasnt nearly enough time to see everyone. Stuck to my guns and spent time with the people I miss rather than duty calls, I upset a few people along the way unfortunately but dont regret it.
It didnt really feel like we'd been away but we have only been here 5 months. It didnt seem grey (despite the weather) or crowded, and I could quite happily live there again, but then again I was never coming here to escape.
I feel a little mixed about returning. I still miss my friends like mad, despite having made really good ones here, my 3 closest friends had time off for my return so we made the most of it and 2 of them are coming over in the next 6 months so that helps. Will had a mediocre time and is very happy to be back, Millie had a great time but is still glad to be back, shes definately seeing Aus as home already, the jurys out for me......

Interesting..... you didn't quite succeed in proving my theory of seeing the UK through rose-tints then? Time for a chat methinks....
