Hey We've been in Ontario for 4 months, feel really crappy most of the time, but like it sometimes. Missing people so much, finding it hard to cope with. We feel so torn, we can see the positives of being out here but are struggling to let go of the UK. Yes missing British humour sooooooooo much. We're now dealing with Christmas arrrrgh!
Thanks for the video Beedubya, made one very miserable face smile for once! loved it.

I can so relate to this. Christmas in Australia was ALWAYS a struggle for me and seemed to get worse, not better as the years went on.

Glad you like the Christmas cheer.

gilly I can also sooooo relate to this, being a 36 year expat from the U.S. I can definitely say that Christmas was the worse time of year for me always,
I missed my family more at that time then any other time, and believe me it never gets better,
I thank my lucky stars that Im finally home in England, and it really does feel so right
What do you think of the 130 mph winds in North of England and Scotland today, hope your OK Barb, and also so hope Easterndawn/ Pegie is OK too, wish she would check in from time to time, its hard to let go of someone who was an Inspiration to so many of us,

130mph winds? That sounds serious, dont think we got anywhere near that when the hurricane blew through, dont ask me which one!
Thanks, Beedubya, for the video, you cant help but smile at it, and there`s something that`s just so British about it! Is it something to do with our men liking to wear drag?

jemima - I love it because it reminds me that we really are good at not taking ourselves too seriously which I think is a bloody brilliant trait.

Happy Christmas to all - I'll be back in England, first Christmas at home in 7 years can't wait.

The REALLY bad hurricane weather has been in Scotland and not quite as bad in the Lake District, here in Cheshire though a grim day it's not been so bad.

That's what I love about British humour too. It gets tiring living in a country (in my case Oz) where the locals are so good at "bigging" themselves up.

Have a great Christmas.

I honestly realise that it`s largely been my sense of humour and not taking it all too seriously that`s got me through the last few years in the states!
That phrase, coined by an American, "You CANNOT be serious" runs through my head a lot of the time!

ME, TOO!!!!!!

Really love the videos. You can't beat a bit of British humour and I so miss a good pantomime!

Thanks for the postings!
