We were in Aus for 12 years, Dubai for 6 Months and my OH is currently working in Africa!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In Nova Scotia, Canada - been here 3 years and some days I really want to live in the UK

Currently getting the house ready to be put on the market ....

No it isn't......it's Oban.

I'm on Long Island, east of Manhattan.

Good luck to all those trying to sell up and move back to the UK. Our house has been on the market for 2 very long years. People want either high end or a complete dump. Nothing 'middle of the road' is moving around where I live. So frustrating.

Same here we are middle of the road too and not having much luck! Hope you get a buyer soon!

I have my fingers in my ears, Lalalalalalalalalala.......

We are in Calgary, Alberta. Going back in September after just under 2 years...18 weeks and counting

We're on the Red Sea coast, in Egypt (it had to be done, when else would I get the chance!!).

Hoping to return to the UK later this year.

I'm back for good in the UK after 29 years in Australia.

I am soooooo happy to be home.

Cochrane Alberta, been out here 6 years now heading back in 3 years time.

I am in SE Tennessee, retired and enjoying it, particularly time I spend as a volunteer. I will enjoy it even more if we have fewer tornados this year. I don't intend to return to the UK, as I am quite content here, and all the kids and grandchildren live here. To each his own I guess.

Beautiful Vancouver Island, but hoping to persuade OH to retire back in UK in 4 years time! Still undecided though, but know that I don't want to spend my twilight years here away from family and friends and UK is best option! So central in the world!!!

I'm in Hong Kong. Been here 30 years next August so I will have had 15 years under British rule and 15 under Chinese. Didn't change things much for me I have to say. I love the place - the dynamism, the diversity, and the general level of freedom. Next weekend my wife and I will be flying back to the UK for my first visit in 9 years and our first since marrying, something I view with a mix of anticipation and trepidation. I know it has changed enormously over the past 10 years.

I am still very proud to be British (perhaps English would be more appropriate these days) and proud also to be of a generation that was brought up with certain core values and manners, which was fortunate enough to receive a good education (in state schools) and which was taught that anything is possible if you work hard.

Good luck to you too, Shirl, and to all those would-be sellers out there.

How do you like the East Coast of Canada? Considered moving there at one time.
