I have been in OZ for 2 years and am so unhappy, it is just not real life, its like im living on the moon. I feel old, sad and like I have no dreams anymore. I dont show it, I have a nice house, good job, great friends etc but underneath my brain thinks about it ALL day and night. My OH loves it here and will never return to UK he says. What a mess. One day though I will be writing the same as you, I just know it. Sorry just having a bad today, found my purse in the fridge!!! Enjoy being back. x

There are bad things in the UK, but then again there are bad things everywhere. We have been back about 3 months, and are very happy to be back here. Yesterday, looking out the window and seeing the sunlight on almost bare trees with just a few autumn leaves left, feeding the ducks on the mill stream at the end of our road, local markets, we moved from Spain, so having all the foods we were used to again, locally made, and being able to fully understand things being explained.
