I am sorry that your son decided to go back to the U.K. But, children have to make decisions and live their lives also. Glad that you can go and see him at least once a year. Maybe in your retirement you may go back and stay for a month or so in the summer. I agree, now with skipe you can ring him up whenever you choose and see him face to face.Glad that you get to visit with Cloe more often. I know we all lead busy lives. I live 10 minutes from my son and only get to see him a couple of times a week.I understand the rainy chill of England having visited there. It is a beautiful country and I enjoyed visiting and the friendliness of it's people.

I’m American and was stationed in London for 2 years in 70’s and I would love to go there to live. I love the weather there and never tired of being there. They are building a Universal park there a little north of London and East of Oxford. They already are clearing the land and there is train service and 2 highways go right by it. I hope my son can transfer there for a while.

By `eck that brought back some memories (and my accent, apparently, after almost 50 years lol). I didn`t realise how much I still miss, even though I`ve lived in Canada way longer than England! Lived in Burnley til I was 12, then moved to Knaresborough til we came here. Not that I recognise much anymore except that staircase in the b & b,we had one that steep I`m sure! Thanks for taking me back to my childhood!

First, I'm so glad that you got to be there for your Dad and that you were able to take him back home from the hospital and saw his health improving. It was so nice to see where you and Mrs. Bazza grew up and your early adult years in the U.K. together. Family time is the best time. I would add another reason to remain in America, and I agree w/all your reasons , is that your daughter is here and in D.C. Perhaps your son will eventually move here as well. Love the vlogs. Thank you. I visited the U.K. in 1970 w/ my aunt on a 4 country European vacation.

Loved doing this walk with you and seeing all your childhood places/memories. Brought back 3 duvet cover sets from my recent trip so with Maxine on that one 🤣. Tip - see if you have an Indian food market in your area in Florida. They stock a lot of British stuff (including tea bags) because many of their customers have moved in from Canada and the UK. When MIL died in 2012 I wanted us to keep her small home in Inverness with the plan that when we retired we would spend May to September in Scotland and then back to California for the rest of the year.

Thanks for this! Hope Dad is doing better! We moved from Wigan 17 months ago to central Florida. (I’m an ICU nurse here) it has been quite an adjustment for us all and our 7 and 12yr old and sometimes we reminisce about England of what we miss but I agree with ALL your reasons for NOT going back to UK. The weather is no.1. Standard of living and SPACE and OPPORTUNITY here cannot be beaten. Even if you are a millionaire in UK you still have to scrape the ice off your car, take the bins out, queue on the roads, pay for parking, get ticketed by cameras everywhere and even queue at the airports and get your flights cancelled. When I worked in Liverpool Heart hospital all the staff talk about CONSTANTLY is where they are going on vacation! What does that tell you about the quality of life there? I am grateful to live here.
