Beasley has arrived!

I would like to introduce myself to all who come to this forum.
After twelve years in the UK I am finally connected to the internet!  I know I'm going to love hearing what my fellow expats have to say about life in jolly old England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland!  I come from Pigeon Forge Tennessee; the land of Dolly Parton and the Great Smoky Mountains.  Met this Brit of mine while working in Nashville in the 1980s.  After 4 years in London and a few spent in Jamaica, we settled in a village outside of Cambridge and have been here for 5 years.  I miss my home in Tennessee more now than the first years I was here and hope to return in a few years.  But for now, I live and paint and take care of my cat and my lab.  I have never known any fellow Yanks and it will be most fulfilling getting to hear familiar views.  I am already thrilled at some of the messages I have read.  I have an opinion on everything and this web site will help me express myself, because you know how we touchy-feely Americans like to talk about our feelings! Ha Ha......Bye Bye for now!

Welcome Beasley!
You're certainly from beautiful country. Only passed through it, though. I'm originally from Florida and have been here 5 years.

hi beasley  and welcome!!  aaahh pigeon forge, tennessee...i love it there!      its soooo beautiful...my fave time is in october when the leaves are changing.  i can remember each trip, i would look around and say .... i need to buy a cabin and move to this little piece of heaven on earth...thats what it was too me.    so peaceful and they  made the best darn apple butter in the world.  (from the apple barn-of course).  ive actually emailed the apple barn asking if they would ship internationally ... but they wouldnt  :'(   (so whens your next trip back, hehe)

cambridge is a beautiful place...ive only been there once  but def hope to get back soon.   marlspo is in ely (very close to ya), although she will be moving soon and im located in maldon.

ive been here a lil over a year now and get teased all the time about my southern accent...so i gotta ask....after being here 12yrs do u still have that southern twang, hehe.  i hope i dont lose mine...i kinda like it, lol.
