But yes he would - even if it meant leaving behind his wonderful, huge, very close family and son, the acreage of his dreams, a job he loves etc etc.

We've had the discussion that if the worst came to the worst then absolutely we would BOTH go back to the UK.

When you love someone and they love ya right back - there's nothing that either of you wouldn't do for each other

OMG, that makes us a very similar age, then.
Reading your other posts, I had assumed you were older.........

If it is like anything like 1976, I am straight over there

Wife and Kids - all "cradles" to use the parlance on here.
40 minute drive to our favourite campground
Camping in campgrounds with great showers and toilets
hunting
the community lake
bbq
Alberta Beef
space
clear night ski
my friends
Ice cold Keiths with frosted glasses at the local, and my favourite Aussie waitress.
Road trips
Motorbike rides on empty roads
developed basement
not being judged (subtly "placed") according to my accent
