, Peter. Thing IS, I remember only too clearly, attending Boys' Brigade Camp as a youngster. And ... even though it wasn't much more than 30 miles from where I lived ... this happened to be the first occasion I'd been separated from my parents so, unsurprisingly, I felt very homesick.
Thereafter, in the fullness of time- as an officer in the same Youth Organisation - I found myself at empathy with those lads who were evidently experiencing emotions similar to the ones I'd been feeling a few years earlier.
... simple enough lesson, perhaps. But one that taught me the importance of a warm welcome.
Hi melovesengland! I'm in the North Hykeham area in Lincoln. I've been to Saxilby once to see my daughter play football. We might be there again next season. Give me nudge if you get some time to be in Lincoln. I don't go out much as I don't really know anybody around.
You'll get used to the homesickness like one gets used to bereavement, you learn to live with it.....welcome to the UK![]()
Not necessarily disagreeing mate. It's a personal thing for me.
Within the past 4 years I've lost my mother, my sister, my brother and this year my father.
I can say for me, being the only surviving member of my closest family unit and all those memories, I am finding it much much more difficult to handle.
Sorry to mention that but it just caught my attention and it helps me to reach out with my feelings.
No offence intended. But emotions impact different people in different ways.
I am homesick everyday as a matter of fact but I tried hard to keep me self busy so it wont affect my everyday living here in the UK. It didnt reach to the point that I cried me eyes out, though.![]()
I think, it depends on how the person can handle homesickness and it needs time to get used and get settled.
Hi Novie! I'm free this weekend. Kevin, my hubby said he could drive me down to Saxilby if that's easier for you.
Hi Novie! My name's Monique by the way. Hubby said he could take us to Saxilby if that is more convenient for you. I don't know how this PM thing works yet, I'm still working my way around this site. Difficulty seems to rise since I'm using iPhone, or not? Anyway, if you can leave me something to contact you with that would be brilliant.
