We have spent the last 25 years in Canada and although enjoyed our time here there was always something missing. Finally the light bulb went on and it is family. When we started this conversation in 2018 weather was very important to us. We seriously looked at Spain, ruled that out due to language and then Norfolk which would afford us better climate and be nearer home. After all this, hubby decided he wasn't ready to leave Canada, so we stayed and decided to make that home. We retired to a lovely part (Okanagan) which is blessed with wonderful weather and wineries and you know what, it still isn't home.

Last weekend we had a heart to heart and have now decided to return to Scotland. Where, we are not sure yet but we have lots of time to decide. We wont go back until next Spring/Summer so that we can get our affairs in order as well as the hope COVID that is a little more under control. We will rent for a year and take a good look round. No matter where we settle we will be close to family and friends. Have others gone through this mental torture of deciding, do you stay or go?
