It’s still weird, but good, but also very different. And very, very quiet. The streets are deserted by 9.00. I do miss the panoramic view of London a lot too. At night a glorious display of lights. We do have the stars here though, many, many stars. That’s still a wow factor. 

Do I feel at home here yet. Nope, its nice but I don’t feel connected. I suppose London gets in your blood somehow.

I think home is a sort of semi-mythical place that you can never quite reach based on a large dose of nostalgia and a certain warm fuzzy distance from realty 

I feel perfectly comfortable but, I guess it just takes a little while longer. 

The small flat I lived in for 32 years has a lot of formative experiences linked to it. One of the most comfortable (but impractical places) I have stayed for any length of time was the gite we have often used for a our French touring trips. That felt in some ways like it could have been home. 

It was on the market for sale and the house next to it as a going concern for the same amount as we paid for our new place. It was very tempting, but then came “Brexit”…

I am just one of the those people that is never content 

Just seen on friends timeline someone say that “They voted leave because they felt like it”. No logic behind it as no reasons given. Essentially on a whim. I wonder how many others did something similar?

Basically we are doomed then….
