Yes that applies to us too. We miss things like a good cheddar and I miss croissants. But then, that means people can treat us when they come to visit. In the meantime we are eating and experiencing all the things we used to miss when we were only here for holidays. Swings and roundabouts. -You know what I mean.
Definitely I miss my sons, but they have somewhere lovely to come for holidays. We chat on the internet and can use webcam. They are spread about England and we never saw much of the eldest anyway. I confess I was hoping flights would be cheap for them and they don't seem to be. Which is a pain.
