Yorkshire Yank
« on: February 02, 2005, 11:01:21 AM »
Hi y'all -- just found this board today.  Been living in Leeds, West Yorks since last March where I moved to marry my English man (wedding 14 Aug 04).  I start my first job over here on Monday - yikes!  Originally from Kansas (Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore...) but lived in south Florida for 6 years before moving here.  Florida...<sigh>...360 days per year of sunshine, warm beaches, palm trees -- oh how I do miss it! (Well, not the hurricanes & enormous palmetto bugs.)  But I love being in Europe & all the traveling opportunities, the history, the culture, my husband (that sexy English accent), etc...  Any folks around Yorkshire who meet up regularly?

Hi from the SW!  I know we have at least one person in Leeds, but she is off to Hawaii right now.  Check out the Meetings area for get togethers or make your own!  Welcome to UKY!
