Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
I have begun to ramp up my business again. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
It occurred to be today that, while I would choose to live in the UK, I will have to travel overseas and probably, in particular, to the USA because of the business. I think that, for me, this means that I need to forget any ideas of renouncing citizenship. Maybe this will give me the best of both worlds. :) This morning I was actually feeling a "slight" bit of sorrow about leaving. :eek::eek::eek::eek: For all that I have said about going home, it came as a shock to me. I think it is the result of getting down to brass tacks and doing some heartfelt soul-searching about what I want out of life, how it will affect my life, where I want to be and where it is BEST for me to be. I am not sure I have reach firm conclusions yet but I think this is a necessary process for me. I will, of course, move back to the UK because it is home. I am lucky because this new business will allow me to travel anywhere the need takes me - North and South America, all over Europe and the Caribbean - and anywhere else I have to travel. With roots in the UK, I won't mind the travel and I do have a partner who will share this travel with me. Sometime he will do it, sometimes I will do it, and sometimes we will do it together as the need dictates. I am still a bit in shock about the sadness about leaving that I felt earlier. I think even considering a move back home makes us very vulnerable and it is important to explore all these emotions before we do anything so we are fully prepared. I have not changed my mind about going home - not for a second. I think this sadness is normal. I spent the first 23 years of my life in the UK and the rest of it here. |

Yes, this sadness once the decision has been made is normal, and has been mentioned often on these threads. Takes us by surprise because so much energy was focused on making the decision or waiting for circumstances to be right; suddenly, you are really going--and bang! all the meaning those years had comes into focus, often for the first time.

Well, I am not going "yet", although it became clear to me today that, if I am going, I have to begin to plan "now" :)

Have only had time to view this now, thank you Perth for posting, thoroughly enjoyable. Had to smile everytime I saw that handbag, she never lets go of it, yes gold bullion in there! Must get myself one of those shower caps from Buckingham Palace:D

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
So I finally think I've lost my marbles. It was overcast all day today with a brisk breeze and I was loving it. Thought it couldn't get any better until it poured with rain just now. Think I'm ready for the British weather :p:rofl::thumbsup:

Yes, me too. I want one of those shower caps and I can actually justify it as my current shower cap is covered in knitted snakes (village Panto costume) and is no longer fit for purpose. Next time I am up in Edinburgh, I will take a trip to the lovely shop in Holyroodhouse and hope they have one in stock. Surely, they must do, otherwise what would Her Majesty do if she left her cap in London?:lol: |

You said the word IF ! :) Planning definitely helps, and just by beginning the process it gives you an idea whether leaving is truly what you want. Often people change their mind when they have begun the process and they realise what they're leaving behind. This is not 'you' in particular...it's a general you..lol
