Anglia

This is by way of introduction to people on this site. The first post is perhaps the hardest, so here I go...

After 27 years of living in Australia I have realised with something of a shock that I want to go home. I have been feeling unsettled for some time but could not pinpoint why until this realisation dawned on me. I want to be with my own people. I want to feel at home in a small, cherished corner of England with the old, familiar landscapes and streetscapes of my youth. So I am making a test visit. I have booked a flight back this Christmas and will be spending a few weeks with my sister in the west country. If it feels right, I will have some very hard decisions to make.

I know that I am not alone in feeling the pull of the old country and I have read some inspirational accounts here of how others have made their way back to their roots. I just hope I can work out a way of making my dream come true.
