Hi
Wow you pinged a few times then! I suppose it's a bit easier without kids , our eldest is about to start secondary school so our pending move back to Perth will be it for a fair while :fingerscrossed::o I'm an Ipswich boy and we're living in Brantham at the mo - yes you're right no-one understands us outcasts fo society - the general response I get at the mo is " ...oh you're moving back ...and how do the rest of the family feel about it? " Contact us for coffee and a whinge ! Cheers Dave |

I really don't want to keep moving him around.
Hope it all works out this time Lany, really feel for you with the homesickness, I found first few months I was back in Aus second time really hard but as I settled into things it did get easier, keep busy although you probably are with a 4 yr old! It was the quiet moments when the homesickness demon used to get me, so I tried to keep busy. Good luck:) |
Re: Ping Pong Stories...
I think it's wrong to try and suppress feelings of being homesick. I know because I have tried to keep busy and 'forget' how I really feel. But it's still always there. Why should why try so hard to be happy where we obviously aren't. If we fit in and it's to be Home, it should just 'be'...if we have to try so hard surely it isn't right. I've struggled here because my husband and kids like it here and we have the acre etc.etc. But enough is enough....I have tried to live here in NZ for nearly 7yrs. I have just returned from a trip back to the Uk and I know that is where I belong.
