Aw but I loved England when I visited. THe heritage - the beauty of the place. And you get to drive on the left side of the road there ;
We rented a car for our trip through England and, in a rain storm, we pulled off to stop and look at a small church. This church had a little stained glass window that was said to have been there for about 600 years. I remember looking through it and wondering who else had done so 600 years ago. We don't have that here.
For the record - I also loved Canada when I was there. I've only traveled around the west coast of Canada (BC and Vancouver Island) but I loved it - so beautiful. It's hard to remember the cold there because I traveled there on warmer occasions.
I suppose I agree with the person who posted something to the effect that it doesn't matter how beautiful it is if you are unhappy - I was just scolding myself for complaining about where I live (so very hard to find good work here) now as, in the past, I have lived in places where it was desolate and hard to find work and one day I may have to return to those places to find work etc.
A man who worked in the cafeteria at my workplace quit his job to open a skydiving school - it makes me think that we have to create our own excitement. I haven't quite figured out how to do that.......

The only thing England has going for it is the countryside and rural areas. I think I want to get out of this country when i'm older.

I would like to move to somewhere much quieter and prettier. I like the thought of moving to New Zealand as the population is much lower and it's extremely beautiful out there.

I would love to get out of this country as it's just too busy, with too many people. I just don't feel as though there is any time to 'chill'.

Apple sauce with meat too is nice. Do they have that in America?
Anywho,
I think it's harder living in the UK with SP. I really do. English people are renowned at being very secretive, and not talking about things, and asking personal questions is a no no. I would like someone to ask me questions, I wouldn't be able to start a convo about myself, but if someone asked me it might be better. Plus if I had been brought up to talk easily about myself things may have been different.

I can't believe the weather here in England at the moment. Having spent the whole winter here and then come back for the summer but instead I'm faced with wintry rainy weather every day. the other day the sun came out and I was shocked. I miss Australia.
I do think the English people have measured friendliness, in that they take an interest in you to be polite but don't push it. They have an interest in cultures and food but there's just not enough variety of good food around. I have trouble buying basic necessities here, there's barely any choice.
It is an unique place in terms of history and the buildings attest to that, I especially like the churches. They bring out the old lady in me.
