Default Another Newbie

Hi,

I'm another newbie that's been lurking and decided it's time to introduce myself.

I come from Edinburgh, originally, then lived in Berkshire for many years before coming to California, 8 years ago, when my husband was offered a job here. My husband is from Lancashire.

We're planning to return home next Spring.

I think this a great group and am looking forward to reading all your posts over the next few months.

Thanks everyone for your warm welcome.

Yes, I'm really looking forward to going home and have started getting excited, already, even though it's a few months away.

We always regarded our move here as being a temporary thing. The reason we're going back now is because my husband's firm opened up in Europe last year and so, hopefully, he should be able to get a move back with them and, also, his parents are getting quite old and it would be good if we could move a bit closer to them.

We're not sure where we'll be living at the moment - it depends on my husband's work.
