Hello from London

It's taken me almost four year living here to discover this site!  
Hellooooo Americans!   I've been wanting to meet more of you over here. Four years of being surrounded by all things British makes me very homesick now and then....especially now upon my recent visit to the states.
I came over here originally as a transfer from my former employer in San Francisco. It was going to be one year...two years max! Then i met a GUY....
Now I am engaged to marry a Brit, hoping to take him back to live in the states in a few years, but making the best of it here now.
Anyway, I've really enjoyed this site. It's comforting to know all of the issues i'm facing are shared by many!
Allison

Welcome Allison! Tell us more about yourself and your GUY. Think you'll be able to meet up with us at a get-together? (We did the Ripper Walk out of Tower Station about 10 days ago.)

hey allison ....welcome to the site.  where are you located in london?  ya never know there might be americans sittin at  your doorstep, lol.  again...welcome and please keep postin!!  

hi allison, I am in London too, it took me 3 months after moving here to find this site and it has been such a great help!  Hopefully we can sort out a get together in London soon so we can all meet  

Hello Allison,

 I hope you enjoy UKY...  is is a nice place with good people...

Hiya Allison!  Welcome to the site!  I just stumbled across this site recently too!  Great site with great people!  Good combination!  

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!  

Hi Allison, welcome to the group,  I think you will find it useful, amusing, and something nice to while away the long English winters...I am over here with my family, my hub is in oil biz, and have lived in SF (Marina district) and out in Walnut Creek when the kids started coming...its a big change!!  We move alot, and this one was the hardest so far....so good luck!!  we are all in the same boat!  Maureen/jammie

Hi there again. I am also direct from San Francisco (well, four years ago). Lived in the Marina as well on Francisco and Franklin! Small world!
If any of you live near central or north london, send me a message and maybe we can meet up for a drink sometime.  
Not sure how this message system works...but my email is allisonfaust@yahoo.com.

All the best,
Allison

i have a pretty good idea on what to send etc.. just want to make sure i got everything set and prepared for them:)

Hi Allison!  Sorry for my late reply but I've been away most of November and have been terribly at keeping up.

Wanted to say hello to you tho, as I am a fellow Londoner...been here for almost two years now!  My, doesn't time fly when you're having fun, eh?  

Anyway, I'm in North London but work in Central so if you're around and want to have coffee or something with someone from 'back home' just give me a buzz!  I'm always up for some 'girl time'!

(And hello to you too, 9iron!  Great to see so many new faces!  I've got some visa info on my website if you want to check it out.  Just click on the house by my name and go to Musings....best of luck!)
