WOW, seems so very long since I last logged onto Visa Journey and I cannot believe how long the list has grown, Welshcookie, good to see you are still here, hope all is well with you

Been over here exactly 2 years and 6 months now, for those who don't know our story, briefly my husband and I moved over to be with our daughter and family, she moved over here 21 years ago after marrying a usc, still with him by the way :thumbs:

We have been doing A.OK since we got here, :yes: have a lovely home, (bought for the same amount as what we sold up for in the UK but much, much bigger ) currently building our own swimming pool, saving ourselves a small fortune into the bargain :thumbs: and we are both working, me as a manager for a well known bank and hubby has his own business, basically doing what he did in the UK. It's been harder to get is business off the ground but it is slowly coming now

Also if any one remembers us, we lost our wonderful rottweiler to cancer 11 days before we moved over here, which just about devastated us, you had to know him :yes: he was wonderful, well we now have another male, he is nearly two now and we named him after our Morgan in the UK. We still have Tia, our female rotty who moved over with us, so life is good. I hope all who have just moved over or who are in the process, really find it good here and settle well. It's not easy but what is, make the most of everyday

good luck to all

If we ever get through the process my husband will be moving here from Livingston Scotland (near Edinburgh) to Peabody Massachusetts (just north of Boston). As I am sure he will get homesick it would be cool to meet other people from UK in our area.
