We are moving back to the UK next year after 6 years in The Netherlands, and I am so sad about leaving here :-(
My dd is at a local Dutch school and therefore bilingual. I have a good job with lovely colleagues. I live in a beautiful town, cycle everywhere and have fantastic friends. Of course there are things about living abroad that wind me up sometimes, but on the whole we love it.
I grew up abroad and have also lived in Russia and France, so have not spent long periods of time living in the UK - and when I have lived there, I've generally wanted to be somewhere else! This is the first time in years I've felt so settled, but we have to come back.
There are things I am looking forward to - hills (!), being closer to some of my old friends, and erm, that's about it. I want this to be a positive thing for our family so would love to hear about good experiences of moving back to England from abroad.
Thanks!
