I came over last Wednesday evening to see my parents and then to take my children to London for the weekend; it was brilliant.
I must admit that when I left England to live in France I was very unhappy with this country. I am now much happier and with my new found confidence I love being in my home town (Stoke). The people are really friendly and helpful. I really love my life in Brittany but if I could afford my house and land in France over here that would be great.
I must admit, having spent a good proporttion of my life living abroad I know how you feel. This country is lovely as seen through the eyes of a visitor, but living ... ... ::) ::) a different kettle of fish. But then every country is the same, I think.
Trouble is - it is expensive relative to almost everywhere else in the world.
What's it they say in Stoke? You alright Duck?
Where did you finally take the children on their whistle-stop tour of London?

No definitely not. Duck is much further south in Staffordshird/Derbyshire. You all right shug is chipsville language. Stokie aka chipeater.
Sorry coco, but Stoke is not somewhere I would like to live, as near as we are to it.
Be happy in Brittany. Nostalgia is not all its cracked up to be, and Stoke most definitely is not. :(
