Yes, it is strange but as ypou say, it is not "home" until you make it so. It's very nice to meet an American who has visited Wales on here and to know about your wife's lovely surname!Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-49846956102411688902011-10-27T12:45:36.872+02:002011-10-27T12:45:36.872+02:00By the way, my wife's maiden name is Flewellin...By the way, my wife's maiden name is Flewelling, a take on Prince Llewellyn!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-69560638752882375372011-10-27T12:43:49.612+02:002011-10-27T12:43:49.612+02:00I visited Wales a couple of years ago.

Spent a day in Swansea with friends, while traveling around England for three weeks. <br /><br />Isn't it funny that (from an American perspective) we hear about these exotic places like Wales, or Italy and think how exciting it must be to LIVE there?

Yes, I know you have moved many times and I do admire the way in which you are determined to make a "home" in each country. You must let me know if you decide to settle here! Oh, definitely, WW. Hi, Lucia. I do understand. Oh, yes, it feels like home and I wouldn't wanht to go back. But it has not been, and is not, without difficulties.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-22634831802126570352011-10-26T14:59:11.698+02:002011-10-26T14:59:11.698+02:00My home will always be on Kingston Road in Scarbor...My home will always be on Kingston Road in Scarborough with my parents, and then again Scarborough where I first lived with my husband, moving to Pickering we made a home for Marina. It doesn't feel like my home, it feels like hers and Todd's home because he lived in Pickering for so long before marrying me and Marina's memories are all Pickering related. <br />Does it feel like home now Pat? I'm still trying to determine whether I feel at home in Pickering and it's been 10 years.Luciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064247260945638783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-22774998599252531062011-10-26T10:59:03.615+02:002011-10-26T10:59:03.615+02:00But your home has definitely moved from Wales to S...But your home has definitely moved from Wales to Sicily.

I managed to make it home because it's where my family was and is.<br /><br />I remember well the time we sold our house in the US before moving once again. It was disturbing at first to not have a place of our own anymore, but we got used to is.<br /><br />Now I'm looking forward to a more permanent perch, but since we have not "roots" anymore anywhere, I don't know where that will be. Maybe Sicily ;)Miss Footloosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15601892611652195901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-454829150344885912011-10-26T02:45:20.976+02:002011-10-26T02:45:20.976+02:00I love hearing from ex-pats in Italy.it gives me h...I love hearing from ex-pats in Italy.it gives me hope that some day I may fit in there too.

My wife and I went through the same thing when we left our home in Huntington Beach (about 40 miles south of Los Angeles, California) and moved to San Diego in 1982. That last night we both cried like babies at the thought of giving up our home in Huntington Beach. It took about a year before we were able to get a place as nice as the one we left. Man, that first place in San Diego never felt like home to us; to this day we refer to it as “the toilet!”Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11737274560403152591noreply@blogger.com
