'Link~on' to this friendly site,
Nice one, well done Arthur
I was in Lincolnshire, the other day, near the Humber. Peaceful area. We stayed in the Premier Inn, on the north side of the Humber Bridge. I was asking about Lincoln and places to visit and I was told that the cathedral was worth a look at and there is supposed to be a great pie shop there or something? We didn't get to venture further south as we had to wend our way back to Manchester.
I had always imagined Lincoln to be flat but of course it isn't.
Cathedral is nice yes, its similar as the old gothic church that York got (York Minster) and if I am not mistaken the pie shop you are talking about is the Browns Pie Shop which is just few steps away from the Cathedral.
Lincoln is nice, peaceful and safe for me. Hope to get to visit Lincoln again soon.
Nice one, well done Arthur, 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.
welcome to the Forum chix22
Weve passed N.Hykeham last year when we went to Brant Broughton. We can maybe meet this weekend if your fee? Hows many years now since uve been here? Just leave me a PM.
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.You'll get used to the homesickness like one gets used to bereavement, you learn to live with it.....welcome to the UK
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.
Sorry no offence intended, Terpe ...my dark humour isn't to everyones taste...my wife included
I lost my dad 4 years ago..I was there when it happened...then he was buried on my birthday.
I was just making light of homesickness...my wife still desperately misses home, even more so now with the 2 babies and no help and support.....still, we are coping.
I miss most having just a good conversation with someone, not just the hi, how are you kind. It helps that my kids are here with me but it just feels like we're in isolation most of the time. It doesn't help that hubby likes it that way. :(
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.
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.You'll get used to the homesickness like one gets used to bereavement, you learn to live with it.....welcome to the UK
I think, it depends on how the person can handle homesickness and it needs time to get used and get settled.
Sorry to hear about that Terpe. Hope you feel better.
Youre lucky to have your kids with you. I left my 4 year old girl back in Davao to come here in the UK. It always breaks me heart thinking im miles away from her and the family but I aint got no choice at the moment. We got loads of circumstances to sort out first before I can take here here. Phew.
Novie, set me a date and time and place when you're free to meet. Left you a message here yesterday, you must not have read it. Looking forward to meeting you.
