I moved to a man I loved, and stayed here because I am not really at home at my home country anymore and have nobody left there.

I live here in Spain, as thats what my partner at the time wanted (we were both from the UK).... to be honest I didnt want to live in another country, but he did, so we moved here.......but a couple of years later, we split up, he hated it here and went back to the UK, but I loved it here and stayed...I cant imagine ever living in the UK again...

Intended to emigrate to Australia with my daughter and her family only she got pregnant so wasn't going anywhere for a while. I'd sold up so decided to move to Cyprus. I came here on my own and didn't know anyone. Four years later I'm still here, daughter still in UK, I love living here though don't know what the future will bring, I don't make too many plans!

Came here over 30 years ago as a young soldier and stayed. Spent most if not all of my youth here so the UK is foreign to me now.

Hi Maisie,

In response to: I moved to a man I loved, and stayed here because I am not really at home at my home country anymore and have nobody left there.


My travels are due to work mainly, but when I arrived in Spain to take up another teaching job, I fell in love with the country and decided to stay.

People are not like trees etc. These things stay forever where they've been put down. People are curious and the implications of that attribute are inestimable.

Real country bread here in Spain (Pan de Campo)actually matures as time goes on and the older it is the better and more expensive it is.A couple of years ago I was visiting a small village and paid an arm and a leg for a quarter of a loaf (bout the size of a normal loaf)that was a month old.Two slices for breakfast is all the food you need all daylaugh puts hair on your chest.rolling on the floor laughing
