My family arrived in York just over a week ago. Now that the snow fun is over, I thought I'd make an effort to find other Filipinos in the area. Apparently, there are about 6,000 Filipinos around, so where are you guys? I've been hanging around the town centre and the rowntree park all this time, I couldn't find a single one of you??!!! Hope to meet you, especially those in the FCY (Filipino Community in York).

To introduce myself, I'm a mother to an 8 y.o. boy and a 4 y.o. girl. We just recently moved back to England after 7 long years with the intention to settle. We used to live in the southwest, but my sister-in-law offered us a temporary abode in her home until my husband and I find something worthwhile to do (read: good paying jobs). As of now, we are still considering if York is best for us (I love it so far) as we have certain needs that may not be addressed here. We're going to Kent next week to visit my father-in-law who has also offered his home to us and will check if life can be better there.

As of now, we live just a stone-throw away from the famed Rowntree Park (where Barrio Fiesta was held last year).

Best regards,
Lucille Taylor
