Sarah, I love all my mates and family that came up in my city. You got me wrong. I dont miss the little hood rats or the filthy streets is all I meant. My heart will always be in my own hood no matter where I live (and I have lived in a few countries). But nice sentiment. Thank you love.

In response to Silly Sod - Homesickness can strike when you least expect it and when it does it can be extreme. My worst experience was after living here for a year, I was very depressed for about 3 months. After nearly 5years I still get homesick occasionally but it usually only lasts a week or so.
I get depressed when I have to go back to the UK.

Does that mean I am homesick for Fort Myers ?

At this point, I would like to thank God, once again, for the fact I live south of Watford Gap.

In the US or UK?
Home is always home, but no place stays the same.

I left the area where I grew up, 30 odd years ago. It will however always be "home". The people here talk different, eat different foods, different lifestyle, different weather, different scenery and they even drive differently (:scared: ).
