Rosie,
Thank you for the photos! I'm up to page 35.
You certainly have an eye for detail!
You had a series on rural fences and I have a thing for rural gates.
Keep them coming!
Are you in Somerset now? You probably told us, sorry!
Cheers

Rosie,
I don't think you saw all of Ipswich. I just got this off BBC somewhere.

Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK.
Just wanted to introduce myself and say thanks to everyone for all the info I have learned in the last few days reading this thread - and yes it has taken quite a few days. 
I have lived in Canada - with my Canadian wife - for the last thirty years.
Until this summer we had not been back to the UK for over twenty years, and now after spending 2 months there we are starting to think about moving back.
Like a lot of you have said that as you get older you start to feel the draw of your home country. Now that Iam retired it may be possible to make it happen.
I wish everyone well in there efforts to get there and for those already there I hope you continue to enjoy living in such a wonderful country.
I will continue reading this thread, as I find it so fascinating, and will post if I feel have something to contribute.
Thanks Rob

I too have been really enjoying this forum
I am only 39 lol ,but my Husband is 51 so I guess that makes it OK ??
We are going back to the UK in 2012 after 7ish years in Indiana .
I am originally from SW london and he has lived all over the world (although he was born here )
It is so nice to read encouraging posts with no ugly banter
We will be living in Dorset when we return ,we feel it will be better for our 3 children -our youngest is just 2 !!!!
Hello to you all BTW ,and sorry this is all over the place -I have my fidgeting daughter on my lap

Welcome, Gab. You baby, you! But we'll let you in 
Dorset--that is really lovely! And you're going while the children are still small--something many of us wish we had been able to do.
Keep us posted,
Tina

Remember to take one day at a time, and just enjoy your last weeks in the US. You are the most organized person I know, but there will still be times when you feel overwhelmed, or maybe just plain scared - its normal. I have moved countries so many times, but this next move is THE most important in my life. I so envy you. Soon you'll be having bacon, eggs, sausage, black puddin' and fried bread with your mam.

I think you will find most people on this thread are positive, and look forward to returning to England. We all realize it is not perfect, but for us it is home.
I have been in the US for 34 years, but realize now that is time to go, just like many people on here there comes a time to follow your heart..
Enjoy..
Jackie..
