(Sorry,I really am boring for Britain on Moondog's travels aren't I?)

[CeeTee]

[CeeTee]

What part of the deep south did you go to, Moondog? Did you have gumbo?

[Rhubarb]

Which lovely lovely single man GGG??? You know, dh doesn't mind me having a few male friends! Is he French? Perhaps he could give me lessons? Or I could give him lessons? Actually I'm all in favour of open relationships, I just need to convince dh of that!

[moondog]

CeeTee,have spent six or seven summers working on a children's camp in North Carolina and subsequently travelling and staying with friends in NC,SC,Georgia,Loisiana,Alabama,Arkansas,Mississippi...

Am really into the food,the buildings,the music (did my Clarksdale and Memphis pilgrimage!)the whole way of life.

One of my favourite cookbooks is called 'Cajun Foodways' which,as the blurb goes is a 'study of the relationship between Cajun food and modern Cajun identity'.

Speak French,which adds to my interest.

Are you American? Did you escape the wrath of Katrina?

[moondog]

Oh and had plenty of gumbo and crawfish!

[bobbybob]

I've already been done!

Hi. Since joining Mumsnet I've lived in Bangalore, South India and now we're in Melbourne for 2 years at least. Any others in Melbourne? It's a little lonely here at the moment!

[Dimples]

I've been living in Sarajevo for 4 years and a total of 6 in Bosnia. Waiting to have third child - don't know where the time goes!

[Jellyfish]

Brit living in Belgium (there are lots of us and many seem to be in the process of reproducing at a fairly steady rate!).

[jambot]

I'm in Cape Town, South Africa.

[chicca]

I too am in Spain. Arcos de la Frontera near Jerez in Andalucia (west).

We have our own dialect here too - it's like cockney really. DS is going to grow immitating Homer Simpson every time he says 2 - doh!

[WHIGERS]

HI I'm in the Charente in France. Been here for 2.5 years. Very happy. In fact, we are just about to try and organise a home birth here. Not an easy task in a hospital loving culture. Have found a midwife who will, seeing her tomorrw! Apparently there are only 15 practacing home birthing midwifes in the whole country!

Hi. Living in Denmark and actually am Danish. After 5 years in Scotland I am back home -- unfortunately because of a divorce from my scottish husband...

Very sad story, as he is a lovely, kind man but we just cant live together, and I couldnt settle in Scotland. Very sad mostly because there are children involved: DD who is 2 years 9 months, and next baby due end of October... terrified of being a single mum of 2 below 3 years, but 15 mins away from my parents and in a good network. I will manage. I have to. Still convinced, its the right descision.

Excited to give birth in a Danish hospital. They are very big on accupuncture here -- looking forward to trying that!

[Tickle]

Hi danishmummy - so sorry to hear sad news about your marriage Where are you? I am from England but moved to Samsø with my danish husband, dd1 & ds1 18 mths ago, just before dd2 was born in the local cottage hospital. Expecting no 4 at Christmas..!

[sansouci]

Moondog, you have a fascinating life. I envy and admire you!

[sansouci]

Danishmummy, I'm sorry that your marriage can't work. It's a real tragedy, especially for your children. I hope that you and your ex will be able to remain friends and share the children. As a child of divorced parents, I hate to think of any child being torn between their mother and father. But only 2 people really know what goes on in a marriage. Good luck and my sympathy to you.
