What a grand idea. I will come visit. I want to live in Fra
nce for a year. South of course.
You two can come visit me. Happy day Jo
You write well too Ms Jann!
Jann,
How fun and daring of you two. One of my great friends from PEOPLE Mag moved 5 years ago to Switzerland…and they love it…biggest adjustment was having to go to the market every other day for fresh food…she has never been healthier or saner!
Love to you and yours,
KGJ

I found this blog while deciding, after 7 yrs, that it’s time to return home from New Zealand. The more I look, the more I see that it’s not just me who has a need to stand where my ancestors did, it’s in our souls.
Looking forward to hearing more, and returning myself!

Hello Jann, I live in US Minnesota and I loved your last blog! We have lived in Florida – Clearwater for about 2yrs before coming back to Minnesota in 2007. Now looking at England as our future home very soon but not soon enough for me. While you were discribing your experiences I felt like I was there with you. You made me laught so hard and I loved it!!! I can not wait to feel what you are feeling. I just know that it will be great! I am doing all of my research now and just trying to get my knowledge of the place down. It is like my mind is there and my body is still here in the US. It is sometimes very difficult for me because I know we have to prepare ourselves first. This makes it seems to be a long time coming. I am and have always been a big fan of British comedy, shows and alot of my favorite musician are Brits. It has been like this from my childhood. So this future move is like going to the place I have always dreamed of. I can almost taste the English air and feel it circulating through my lungs. As a soon to be newby do you have any suggestions and tips to offer. We will be in London to start and then possibly make a change as we see fit. This will be my first visit to the UK. We plan a trip the end of this year to get a feel for the place kinda like a tourist you know. Looking forward to any tips.
Thanks a bunch 🙂

Hi Jann,
I love your writing and can relate to so much of what you write about because I’ve spent a lot of time in England. My boyfriend is British and lives in Northumberland so I’ve stayed with him several times. Unlike you and maybe some other’s here who want to move to England, I’d be doing it alone. That is I have to sell my house and tie up what ever needs to be tied up over here by myself. BUT we talk of the future together and are trying to start a tour business in England. Friends think I’m kind of crazy or very adventurous to want to just GO, but what can I say? Life is short! And I too believe in living your dreams, so I hope I get to live mine and move permanently to England someday soon. I hate being apart from my sweetie for 6 months at a time!!
I’m looking forward to reading more of your adventures, I can relate so far to what you’ve written (I’m terrified already thinking of re-learning to drive!!)
