Hello from Winchester, Hampshire

Hi. I'm an American living near Winchester in Hampshire with  my British hubby. I miss interacting with Americans and would love to meet some nearby.  I'm originally from Vermont and spent most of my life in Kentucky, mostly recently my husband and I lived in Melbourne, Australia for 2 years. My husband lost his job in Melbourne so we decided to move to the UK to be closer to his family. We are finding the economy tough but we are both work pt at the moment until we can something ft and more permanent.  Would love to meet others nearby. I've tried contacting some American overseas clubs in the south and they are all inactive and folded over so would love to plan some meetups nearby.

Hello ewoodcock (that's some name!) LOL

Welcome to UKY! I am no where near Winchester but I'm sure you will find somebody local soon. How long have you been living here now? Are you liking it?

Hello and welcome!  Sorry I don't live near Winchester but welcome to the forum!   

Well hello and welcome to UKY...I am not anywhere near there either no doubt someone is and they will show up!

Thanks. I know there must be some expats around the Hampshire/Wiltshire area. I found out some of the American meet up groups in the area have ceased due to being inactive so hoping to meet others around here!

Hi. I've been living here since April so should have joined one of these sites awhile back but there you go. I do like the UK but I really miss my friends and family from home. My husband's family is lovely though and I do really enjoy so many things about England. I LOVE the pubs, country walks and history! The countryside is so accessible with all the bridlepaths and wearing wellies feels so natural.  I do love the country life!

I agree with all your likes.  It is all lovely isn't it.

I am not near you, sorry to say.  I moved over in Feb this year to Plymouth, way down southwest.

Welcome to the site however and enjoy.  If your ever down this way, let me know, would love to meet ya.
