Guest valleylass Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I just wanted to wish you all the best on your return (Connie and Dawny) who are going soon and Oz Sceptic, Famous Five and Mr Catania who'll be going before the year is out. Anyone else who I've missed apologies and please feel free to add to the thread. The things that have been great on our return: Job opportunities Quality of schooling for the children Proximity to galleries/gigs/theatre Price of second hand cars Rolling misty hills Rain that soaks you through Beautiful sunny days..........

harrisj67 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Thanks to the sentiment of the thread Valleylass. Good to see that people are excited to be returning. I look forward to the day when we have completed unfinished business and return to where we ought to be. In saying that, I look forward to making the most of this great land in the interim. It has at the end of the day given us a fantastic experience, brought closure to that unsettled feeling that made us come over here in the first place (the grass is very green in the UK afterall:wink:) and finally our two beautiful sons. Good luck to all those returning and those departing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verulam Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Yes, best wishes and Good Luck to all. Hope you have good flights back. I will never forget the feeling I had when we touched down at Heathrow...an overwhelming feeling of being "Home", and I still have that now. I now KNOW that this is where I'm meant to be in the world and I appreciate the UK much more than I ever did before. Glad my Aussie hubby loves it here too..must be terrible to feel torn between the two places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Good luck you guys! At this moment I am very :daydreaming::chatterbox::eek::skeptical: (that's green, by the way) with envy (shame we dont have an envious emoticon!) I will be following in 10 weeks but only for 5 (and a bit) weeks' holiday. I shall make the most of it - that will make over 2 months in UK this year. My next trip is scheduled for Aug/Sep 2011 when my son gets married and we will all be going (we hope). This time it is just me. I hope everything goes brilliantly for you all - how wonderful to be able to reclaim your life and your self! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest famousfive Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Thank you very much,it's nice to read posts from people who are happy with their decision to return.We have a while to go yet but may end up back by xmas,returning to Ireland but plan a few days in England too on the way to catch up with friends,can't wait to be honest but the FIL is very ill and we will stay with him as long as we can,home will still be there but he may not be with us much longer so making the most of it while we can.

Anyone else who I've missed apologies and please feel free to add to the thread. Soooo green with envy to all you returnees.....although in saying that, I am heading back that way at the end of October, but only for 4 weeks.....think OH might have a problem getting me on the plane for the return journey though !!!!!! Hoping that OH will see that the UK (Scotland) is where we need to be. Moving back 'home' should never be classed as a failure - we have had an opportunity that most people can only dream about. Good luck and best wishes to all returnees. Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
