[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1812131, member: 438800"] Lovely to hear from you [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER]. I will be in the UK forever, I think. I've lived a very peripatetic life, having left the UK 38 years ago at the age of 23 following a mixed French/British childhood. Have lived all over the place (but mainly in the Middle East and the United States), with the choice of country dictated largely by others (employers, family, etc.). This is the first time I've actually made the choice entirely on my own selfish grounds. To be honest I was not greatly enamored of the UK as a young adult. That was in the 1970s when (regardless of your political persuasion) the country was, shall we say, a bit of a mess. For a visceral left-winger such as myself (and a passionate European) moving to the UK now was very counter-intuitive but, much to my surprise, I found myself falling in love with the UK over the past few years during various holiday visits. And, having arrived, my feelings have strengthened. Unfortunately I am dog-phobic. It began during my childhood near Paris when I walked to school every day and walked passed a couple of houses with fiercely barking dogs behind iron railings, with the usual "Chien Méchant" signpost on the gate. Not at all rational. I have considered getting therapy for this now: After all, dogs are abundant in the village where I now live. [/QUOTE]
