Hi Kymm and welcome to the forum, it doesn't take guts, life is what you make it whether it's in England or Turkey, i'm in Manchester at the mo, going back August 11th, i've no regrets about moving, it's a bit harder going back this time, cos when i first moved over i was also getting away from a situation i was in, whereas this time life is a lot happier, and i'm seeing my family a lot more, we all have our lives to live, and i choose to live mine in Calis, i'll go to England for holidays, but definitely not for 4 months next time. Alan. Only 3 weeks to go, YES
