Settled Back In England

My oh my, its been a long time since I had time or inclination to come on here, and update everyone to what has been happening.

Our lives have been so busy but so much happier back at home again. The saying that the grass is greener on the other side, really is not true for us, as we have found out the hard way, although it would be nice to have a holiday home in Spain or Turkey . (Our experiences of both these countries is much more positive and I'll cover those later) Certainly would not under any circumstances include France in that statement.

We have a lovely house, not quite in the same league as we had in France, but who cares, we certainly don't. We have a corner plot and the garden although its not huge, its enough for us now to enjoy. Even our pets have settled back nicely.

Of course the main problem we both encountered was finding work, having been out of the country for such a long time, and being older in life, it was almost impossible to find any company to employ us, and the salary was so low it hardly seemed worth getting out of bed for and then it seemed we had a long way to travel for that meaningless, low paid, degrading job. We both had really good jobs before we left for France, so we both felt we were too old to start at the bottom again and work our way up and actually are both too old to do so.

So we took a gamble, as you have probably guessed we are that kind of people , and it paid off for us. So we both work now for ourselves, and I dare say I shall cover that in great detail as time goes on.
