Re: Returning to the UK after many years

He has no idea. He's just completing his second year of a BEng in Civil Engineering & Construction Management. He might then want a job, or to go for a Masters to advance himself on the road to...

Re: Returning to the UK after many years

Yes, been checking out both of these. Norwich is more expensive, transport in Kings Lynn sounds decent and it also appears to have some species of cultural life. No real idea of where in the country...

Re: Returning to the UK after many years

Thank you. I'm ready for a small town, as long as it has good transport options, but I'm nervous about village living. I'm a city kid (London born and bred, lived in the US mostly in New York and...

Re: Returning to the UK after many years

We'll check out Norwich. The south is probably right out, in terms of budget. My sister lives in Winchester, but she organised her life differently....

Re: Returning to the UK after many years

No trains for hours, and then 78 come at once.

Re: Returning to the UK after many years

Thank you, very helpful. His probably a paid up member of the Coot Club (he's English too). Ely looks like nice as well, but not as close to the sea of course. After so many years in the Midwest,...

Re: Returning to the UK after many years
