Ironic this question of today. We are at present surrounded by packing boxes, rolls of sticky tape, things to give away, those to keep, and mountains of rubbish to give to the charity organisation. Why? Because after 44 years of living in Switzerland, SA, Oz, Belgium, and France we are moving back to Blighty early September. Many friends think we are nothing short of crazy, but they probably have not been in hospital [both of us for different reasons] struggling to cope with medical French. Now, don't get me wrong, we are both fluent and able to conduct our daily lives in French, German, Dutch and with some Italian but when one is left on their own, feeling probably rather bereft, and possibly struggling with medical terminology which is difficult enough in one's own language, then it is time to return to one's roots. Dunno whether we are doing the right thing - time will tell but we are positive and looking forward to beautiful Dorset and to seeing family on a more frequent basis than previously.
