I have friends in Nutley and Uckfield - I used to live in Eastbourne. How I could sink a pint of Harveys now!

I didn't watch it in the UK and I'm not going to start here.

He came up to stay last night, walked in the house straight to his room and I only saw him when I called him for his tea. Haven't seen him since either

He'll get up, have his brekky and then go back to my brothers. If I'm lucky he might say goodbye

I've been here over 7 years and I'll really miss:

1. My boyfriend’s family and village where there’s a real sense of community.
2. The English countryside & country village pubs.
3. The sense of history and the beautiful buildings and historic sites.
4. Waterstones, H&M, HMV, Boots and other affordable shops.
5. Jetting off to Europe for a long weekend.

Em

Maybe saying these things and realising them will make it easier to deal with when you out there.

Because alot of people probably don't prepare themselves enough.

Me included.
Six months in and I miss absolutely nothing.....

There are some beautiful bird songs out here. There is also a huge diversity of owls! Spring I can't help you with although neither can England by the sound of it.
