Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK-Silly Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
Here you all are! You keep moving but you can't get away from me :lol:
So since this is a chit-chat thread, I have a couple of questions for you all ... 1) What is the thing you're most looking forward to about being back in the UK? 2) What scares you the most about making the move? |

I asked Pollyana to move us back where people can find us in the Moving Back main area rather than Rovers Return. Have no idea why we were jumped to where people would have a difficult time finding us.
As you were :D |

The thing I'm most looking forward to is having all our oldest friends over for a house-warming party. The things I'm most scared of are a) that I'll miss the sun and b) that my husband will hate it and wish we'd never moved. Since I'm driving this move, that would make me feel very guilty. |

What I'm least looking forward to is the lack of sunny days in the winter. I can't really think of anything else apart from the weather :) |

Good topic Sally :thumbsup: 1) Feeling like the real authentic ME, family, the green fields, the church spires in the distance and other hidden treasures as your eye alights upon ever changing scenery, interesting, historical places to visit and going to places I have only read about, British food but not too much this time. :D Going to a family wedding 2 weeks after I get back. The nearness and cheapness (I hope) to Europe if you need a dose of sunshine. 2) Missing my kids and grand-kids in Australia and feeling guilty like I did last time. Going to the UK with virtually no money, no furniture, no car............starting all over again at 57. :eek: |

Family being too close by when we get there, we'll all be squashed in Mums house, After we've been there a whileI may just buy her a ticket to my sister in Spain for a month to let us settle in without her. Getting Dh to be excited and not afraid. |

1. Being home, shopping and cooking foods we know and love. Family close by.

But you know, when we went back again last year and a) had gorgeous weather b) a wonderful time walking and driving around the countryside etc. and c) the combination of the exchange rate and cost of buying a house has changed dramatically, that now he too is fully on board (actually I can't believe it):D. So, maybe you need another visit, especially to a place you might consider moving to, and can afford to live:unsure: |
