Hello!

Hello fellow UK Yanks.  I made the move from Vermont, family in tow, last August. 

So far I am finding life here in the UK pleasantly suffocating!  Anyone else having a hard time?

Hello!

I was definitely having a hard time for the first year or so, I moved over last February. Now that I'm on track with a new job (I start Monday), making friends and exploring more and more. Everything seems to be falling into place. Of course I miss my friends and family back in the states and I can't wait for my visit, but I feel like I'm building a life here and I'm getting more settled. I can't wait to see what's in store for me.

I can relate. I didn't work when I first moved here, and I felt so cut off. I had a baby soon after arriving, and that connected me with some other Mums, but it wasn't until I went to work that I felt I was really part of the community.

Work ties just made that difference for me, I guess.

I will say I think it gets easier.
