Although I do want to go back & will be glad I did, I feel really sad about leaving this little place and the lovely friends I've made - its not nice and I dont like it. Its one of the aspects of migrating that is pants I reckon (if you do decide to head back).
At the moment instead of being excited about heading back, I feel more sad to be leaving. Hope thats not a bad sign and is kind of normal!!!??? Just felt like a mini rant T |

Re: Feeling sad :(
Hi all
Thanks for the words everyone & My God, I'm normal, now thats a turn up for the books :) hee hee It is so funny how you appreciate things all the more once you're off. Even though I'm sure I'll miss aspects of here, think it may be less than I think & a walk in the woods or over fields followed by a pint in a country pub in UK should help & being able to go somewhwere different. I'm planning trips too - maybe Prague for starters. Soon as I start looking forward to all that I feel better. I keep singing Knowing me, knowing you by Abba as my theme tune - sad or what!!!!!!!!! I'm off for a day as a tourist here now to get into practise again :) Anyway, to anyone else planning the off and feeling funny - good luck Big thanks xxxx |

Next August 7 it will be 50 years since we left England for Canada, in those days, never was a question of going back, Canada was to be our home.
Parents Memorial Plate reads: English by Birth Canadians By choice. Sure it was tough, Dad left a good paying job as an Electrician and swept floors, we moved three times the first year here. Move was for the 8 kids, and it was a great move. And the relevance of this is? |

I'm hoping you're normal Birdy, because I'm going through the same thing. Seven weeks to go, and I'm wandering around with a big old lump in my throat. Every time I go to a favourite shop or place I think, "this will be the last time." Crazy. I've been trying to get home for 25 years, and now I'm sad about it. I keep looking at all the lovely things here (yes there are quite a few) and wondering if I'm mad to give this up. Luckily we're heading into the dog days of summer in the south, so by the time the middle of Sept rolls around, I'll be more than ready to get shot of the place. I hope your move goes well. Just try and relax and enjoy the last few weeks.
I did same the other eve - amazing sunset, rainbows bla bla - lovely - I stood on the beach thinking am I mad. Good luck with the move - you have alot of catching up to do - enjoy it xxxx xxxx |

Re: Feeling sad :(
Me too Birdy! I'm leaving next month and I have mixed emotions depending on the time of day!!
I'm sure it will work out. We just need to get through those long goodbyes quickly and we will be out the other end with a fresh start. Good luck:) |
