''..and now the end is near..and so we face the final moving..we hope..''
Hello friends, family and all..you will have noticed a lack of entries these past few weeks..and the reason for all this secrecy...well, we had to tell some of you folks out there that we are packing up and heading back to Blighty....(pick yourself up off the floor, Adrian!!)..
Its a long story punctuated by no employment prospects, no money and not enough to live on, the thought of having to work in pizza hut (J was impressed by that one!), a very unhappy biggest boy and a very quick house sale (we accepted an offer on it within 2 weeks).
So we made the decision and are heading back to live in West Yorkshire, near to my Ma and Pa (well, sooo near initially, in fact, that we will be sharing their house!) and are both busy applying for jobs and winding things up at this end. It is disappointing and I am more disappointed than T-he is rather (understatement) angry with his home country and the way Icelandic society in general treats immigrants..its a long time until Iceland can call itself a truly multi-cultural society in his opinion. T say he was never made to feel a 'foreigner' in the Uk and as he always felt more at home there, he is pleased we are going back-J too. We will miss dear friends and family and I'm anxious re jobs..been a while since all that interview malarkey but everyone keeps saying we will be fine. :-)
So, just to put the pressure on-we have to leave our house on 7th August and we are off to meet Grandmum and Pops in Italy on Monday and we are soooooooooooo excited..especially as its been raining non-stop for days here ;-).
Oh, and I forgot to mention thats its Independence Day here today-another bank holiday that falls on the weekend!!
Have fun and keep smilin' everyone..more blogging upon our return from the Lake Como cosmopolitana..
Love from 3Bs and a T xxxxxxxxxxxx
