Hi all,

I'm a first-time poster on this forum. Mid-30s English guy living/working in San Antonio- it would be great to meet up with other Brits in the area

Cheers,
FG

I'm not much help as I don't live in SA any more, but I would always run into Brits at the Lion and Rose in Alamo Heights, especially when the footie was on.

Hey peeps. Just guys here so far I see. Anyway, I'm Jeanna and am looking to see if any other ladies are out there in San Antonio, Tx. I've lived here for 6 years and would love to connect with some ex pats.

I'm not in the San Antonio area but I'm a British expat living in the RGV.

Hi there, Kintsukuroi,

Great to hear from you. Please forgive me but I'm not picking up on where RGV is. Sorry but I don't recognise the abbreviation. I don't get out much! Please clue me in.

In the meantime, hope you're having a nice weekend. The weather is beautiful here although still a little too hot for me.

RGV=Rio Grande Valley I'm at the very southern tip of Texas

Oh my goodness! Why didn't that thought even cross my mind? I lived in the Rio Grande Valley for the first three years of my so far 9 years in the USA. I lived in San Benito and then bought a house in Harlingen.

It's funny. I didn't appreciate the place that much when I lived there because it was such culture shock having just come from spending my whole life in England. When I relocated to San Antonio with my husband who had got a job here, I suddenly realised that small town life down there wasn't so bad after all compared with a big city.

I feel like "duh" right now!

Kintsukuroi

I live in Harlingen For the first 7 years I lived in the RGV I couldn't wait to leave LOL Now it feels like home

I'm glad for you. What brought you to the USA and where did you come from, if you don't mind me asking?
