... since January 18th, and loving it.
OK, I've lived in North Carolina (Raleigh/Research Triangle area) for 41 years, but to set the record straight, I'm Richmond, Virginian by birth. (That's important, somehow).
Married to my English sweetie for four point something-or-other years. She was working in the US when we met over six years ago. Late last year, she discovered an opportunity for a job in Norfolk, very close to her parents and also to her son, who lives near Norwich. So, she applied for -- and got! -- the job, and came over last December. I did the spouse visa application thing and got my clearance in mid-January. OK, so that wasn't the greatest time to arrive, but I did it and actually survived the winter. Just trying to figure out if it's actually over yet!
I'm grateful to find this forum, and look forward to meeting folks here who're sharing the ins and outs, ups and downs of life in the UK. For my part, I'm taking to it rather readily, and feel pretty acclimatized... not really experiencing much in the way of culture shock. Feeling very fortunate to live in a totally awesome village north of Swaffham. I think Norwich is close to being the ideal city, and I enjoy visiting every couple of weeks or so, but I'm REALLY enjoying the rural lifestyle out here in the middle of Norfolk. Even got my first vegetable garden growing since, sheesh, the late '80's!
OK, enough me stuff. I'm off to explore what happening here on the forum. Peace!
