Holidaying Back in the UK ~ Anxious?
Does/has anyone else felt anxious about going back to the UK for a visit?
I'm going back in July and it's been a year since I've been. Not as long a gap as some people but I'm feeling weird about all the same. I've quite enjoyed not going back and I'm not sure I even want to go now. I'm not looking forward to it at all.
I was settling in nicely here in the US and I don't want to be unsettled by going back. Plus I don't want to experience that feeling of everything in the UK feeling a bit strange and unfamiliar. I find it quite disconcerting.
Does anyone else get the willies about going back?

Well, as a concerned BE friend, I feel I should go in your place, it'll be difficult, but I'll pretty much do anything for a friend.
