I too, am thinking of returning to the uk, which I still regard as home! I've been here 17 years & on the whole it's been great, have made some good friends, but now I'm on my own the pull of family is so strong. I've thought about it for a long time, I too may change my mind when I go for a holiday ( tomorrow!) I'm hoping my mind will be made up, as I don't want to be old here with no family! I've had enough sunshine to last a lifetime & Christmas here is not the same.....probably 'cos I'm not with family............I know I will miss my life here, but I don't feel this is for me anymore.
