Welcome back Rev. How come you're back in the motherland?
I came back in March and we are now in Diss , the main reason was that my son came back to uni in London last september and we all miss him ,and with my other child my daughter, was due to go onto college in France but we could'nt find one that had a music bias course available locally or very few nationally, as thats her obsession, and music based A levels are available in most areas in England,It just made sense that this was the perfect time to come back.
I am now easily available to my son who can get to us on the train in an hour ,and one of the best music based courses was available in Diss and she could get on it for September, we decided to come here.
Also another reason was i really missed having a local pub to go to as i lived rurally in France and the local bar never opened weekdays and closed at 10pm weekends, it was'nt worth walking to it.
Socially most things in France take place in other peoples houses,you sort of take turns hosting dinners etc, but the same people go week in week out and i missed going out for a few pints and meeting the locals.Its hard to explain the feeling of not having the option of going to a local regularly, until its took away from you.
Another big reason was i missed the skyblue matchday experience, and after 9 years without it regularly i'm gagging to get going again.
The Rev
oo i forgot to mention we missed our families as well
