I'm from Sonoma County, California, moved temporarily to the UK before the 2020 election, later decided to make the move permanent. I have dual US/UK citizenship as I was born in the UK, British mother, GI father. We sold our California house & cars last year, shipped a small quantity of household goods and are now renting in Alnwick, Northumberland, after visiting different places in England and Wales. We're in the process of buying a plot with plans to build an eco-friendly home.... Oh, my, what a long process!
We (my husband and adult daughter) left the US due to politics, guns, CA wildfires, drought and rising temperatures. We are loving the footpaths, walkability of our small town, public transportation, scenery, birds, flowers, rain and green! We haven't bought a car but have rented a few times and have used trains and buses. We're retired and looking forward to life after Covid.
