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
![Roll Eyes](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
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.

TOP 5 (or more)
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.
