Could we?
Hubby and I were comparing notes on what we see about English life, and whether we think we could fit in again over here. We have not been in England together since the summer of 2005.
I see people in the street or in the shops around my age and I wonder if I would be like them if I lived here. Would I be wearing clothes like that and shopping with my kids like that? Would we live in a normal house like the ones we see? I actually think that Hubby is far less tolerant than I am. I don't think he could live too close to other houses again. I think we would both maybe go for the middle of nowhere option. Would our kids go to state schools? Far likelier than over in America. Hubby wonders what cars we would have. We passed a new BMW that looks normal size back home where as compared to the Vauxhall Zafiria (?) we are using, it looked like a monster truck!
We have already talked about whether we would remain in USA if anything happened to the other one. I think I would maybe now stay there after all. I am actually quite missing my life in America despite having a good time so far over here. Hubby is sure he would stay out in America. At the end of the day, our kids are Americans. Hence having to explain the concept of a 'chip butty' to Bee today.... And then to have her ask for sauce on her 'Chipiere'.

I'm enjoying Whitby, but could well see myself living in or around Edinburgh. Did you not make it up to Scotland? Just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
Not been to York yet though so we'll see how I feel then!
