True Fred.
I think I'd just be regarded as an 'old has-been' now, back in the UK, written off, and of no use to anyone...and heaven help me if they saw me with my beautiful half my age Mrs.

Here I feel valued, always have plenty to do (not enough hours in the day !), and though of course I really miss my close family in the UK...especially my wonderful son , I do have the loyalty and affection of my 'new' family here.
