... my then girlfriend, now wife, and mother to our lovely three children came from Virginia to live here in the UK.  Adjusting to life in a new country is never easy, but it seems that there is something particularly tricky about moving to a country that shares a common language, but is so different in many ways.  Good luck to all you Americans living here in the UK.  Us Brits may take some getting used to, but hang on in there - it's a wonderful country and a great place to live!

Hi and welcome to UKY!  Your wife comes from my favorite state!  What area what she from?

I hope you enjoy it here!

We lived in North London for nine years and we have recently moved to the dreamy hills of Yorkshire!  My wife is from Fairfax County, Northern Virginia and I am a Yorkshireman.  Enjoy London - we did!

Welcome to UKY

It's never too late to find and join this site!  I didn't find it until after eight years in the UK, hence my name...

It's a real gem with lots of great people.
