 Southeast England.  We don't know exactly where yet ... it will depend on where I find work.

Well belindaloo said it pretty much for me. Just going back home really. :)

(We're from Los Gatos)  What part of California are you from? 

We're from Los Gatos too!

I'm not there yet, but I'm going for love.  Of my DF, and of England - yes, in that order too.   ;D

I met my husband on holiday, moved here, married him and had three babies.  And it all started just over 6 years ago.

It's a small world! We lived right up above Los Gatos in the Santa Cruz Mountains!  Where did you live in Los Gatos and where do you live now in the UK?  Do you miss Los Gatos? I know I am going to miss the restaurants and shopping there!

  Proximity to Amsterdam.

You too? 8)

I moved here for love [smiley=bleck.gif] & 'cause I couldn't talk my hubby into moving from northern England (brrrrrrr) to southern Florida (warmth--mmmmm).  But if you've got to be cold -- Amsterdam is so much more appealing, so it doesn't hurt that it's nearby. :P  Plus, you've got Spain & areas around the Med when you just gotta be warm again. ;D  If I can just master Dutch & Spanish, talk my hubs into it, maybe we can take off for good!

Completely OT, but everytime I see this thread pop up I read the subject line and it feels like it is chiding me to get OFF the friggen computer LOL.  "What are you doing here? Don't you have some housework to do?"  ;D
