I can't wait to move home & I'm so glad I get to have a holiday back there this summer, wooohoo!!!
That's a beautiful area. I stayed there years ago, just lovely!

I think I am so homesick lately because I haven't seen any of my family for 4 years. I talk to my mum every week, but it's not the same. And I've not even met a couple of nephews. :(

Awww, that's such a shame. I don't have anyone that I've not met. I was very happy when I went home last year, as my Nan got to see my son. I was worried that we wouldn't make it back in time, as she's gone down hill fast. She has MRSA, so we couldn't touch her, but she seemed so happy to see Tyler, she even knew who we were. So now I have a photo of them together, it's really cute, I think I'll post it.

That's nice! Do post a pic.

We plan a trip this year & if my DH can't come, I am going without him. We were going to go last year but moved house & with estate agent fees being so high, it wiped us out and we couldn't go.

LOL - I didn't say I like American beans, just don't like Heinz anymore.

I am shocked that I learned to like the bread though. For my first year here, I couldn't eat it at all. Hope I still like Kingsmill when I get back.

What's wierd is I remember how nasty the bread tasted but I just got used to it. Ever noticed how it never goes mouldy? What do they put in it?

The bread is nasty!!!! I can't bear the smell of the bread aisle in the supermarket here. I used to love the bread dept in Tesco and Asda, we'd come away with loads of different breads. Here,it's all horrible fluff,unless you go somewhere like whole foods or Bread works. Panera is OK.
I never eat the ordinary bread though.

ick, that's why is tastes so sweet.
I do admit we bought a bread machine & make our own most of the time now. And I don't eat the cheap stuff (horrible fluff is right!), You do have to spend a small fortune to buy anything remotely decent.
