Been back in the UK (Edinburgh) 5 months and finding it a bit of a struggle to settle. Returning during the winter months has been challenging, after 5 years living on the Gold Coast. Wondering if the temperature will ever increase as we're on track for the coldest March in 50 yrs or so!! Always seems easy remembering the great aspects of life in Oz when you've left them behind and easy to forget the things that drove you nuts about the place. Would be good to hear from other returnees and how you settled. Did you struggle at first and then did it get better or was it great being back at first then wished you were back in Oz further down the track???

Returned to the UK at the end of October 2012 and we've (wife & myself) been here in Edinburgh since mid November. We spent 12 years in Oz, Sydney, Perth and Gold Coast and basically enjoyed our time out there. Since returning we've been very much up & down and currently thinking a return to Oz is on the cards in the near future. My main concern is wondering if we'll ever settle anywhere on this planet??!! Would be interesting to hear from other returnees and how they felt after only a short time back in the UK??
