Hello, is there any other brits in NC??

We moved here in Dec 07, due to my husbands job, we have 2 kiddies a 3yr old boy and a 3wk old boy.

Settling well however it would be nice to meet other brits in the area.



Em

There are quite a few of us around. Its nice to see you back on BE. Congratulations on the birth of your son.

NC Penguin is in that neck of the woods and I think a couple of others are too, have a search through the frapr map that's stickied to see if anyone else is on the site.

Hello from Durham and welcome to BE! I see you're in the Charlotte area. That means you're much closer to Sue, the Admin.

Welcome to NC! We're here too and living in Raleigh.

Hey i moved to Fayetteville NC with my husband and 2 boys aged 10yrs and 8yrs September of this year and at first it was great but 4months on feeling REALLY homesick! any tricks or hints to help???

Oh dear. It's probably the time of year. It will pass. Sneak up on you from time to time for no apparent reason....my time is usually around March, don't know why, just is. Throw yourself in to a project or something.....a cooking frenzy.

Hi there from Durham, NC. Is your spouse in the military? I can't really think why anybody would move there if it weren't for military reasons.

Funny! we moved to Fayetteville to 'live the american dream' nothing to do with the military!!.....but EVERYONE does ask that question! We actually have family here so thats why Fayetteville, wish they lived in California but hey ho!! Have you felt a huge culture shock?? i certainly have, didn't think it would be this different but really trying to adapt maybe i need to give myself a couple more months?!

It took me about 18 months to settle in Durham but you may find it takes you less time because you have kids.

There's plenty of Brits in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area so if you're ever up this way, let me know (send me a PM).

*fellow Brit chick waves Hi from not to far from where you are* I go to F'ville quite a bit (I've got other English friends there) You should join us one day
