Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK.
I just thought about something. What about having a "moving back to UK" singles thread lol! That way, we single women and men who are planning to move back may be able to find a friend of the opposite sex who is also returning to the UK. You just never know
(Can't believe I just wrote that lol!)

My dad lived the last 30 years of his live in Cheddar, Somerset. I fell in love with the area completely - and with the people. It's going to be a hard choice as to whether I go back to the Edinburgh area or settle in Somerset. I don't know yet.

Bee - That's lovely! It's so nice you have family waiting for you over there - and somewhere to stay.

Somerset is where Rosie is heading off to as well, we will all have to catch up in Bath or somewhere like that........

Looks like I will be the next one home, I leave on Tuesday for bonnie Scotlland, can't wait
Been so busy getting things arranged, haven't been able to keep up with this thread, so if anyone else has headed home or is heading home soon, all of my best to you all

Maybe you can "pal up" with another returnee sharing accommodation etc, without it being a relationship. 2 women or 2 men could start out with a lot more security together as long as the rules were decided on in advance and it could be very helpful to have someone to go through the early days with. Sometimes having someone to listen is really what we need after a troubling day, and who better to understand than another "newbie"

Windsong...I think thats a lovely idea singles returning. Just think of the fun you could have and you all know about moving abroad and not wanting to do it again. Maybe we would be attending a wedding
I have been sick the past couple of days caught my Grandsons cold. At the moment its just the sore throat and feeling like I have two people in my head. Needless to say the estate agent called today and wanted a showing tomorrow. We told her we would only do it if we have papers saying they can afford to buy. She called back and said this time she has it. These people are also from New York. According to her they have just sold an island they own close to Staten Island. Dont know how true that is. Sallysimmons should have an idea if there are any islands around that area. Its 5.30pm and I have to start cleaning and hoovering they are coming at 10.30 tomorrow morning just dont feel up to it but cant say no. There is always a chance
