Hi Beth
Welcome to the UK and its nice to hear the enthusiam in your writing.My wife`s 19 year old brother arrived here on the 27th March for a 6 month visit, and has settled in like a duck to water.I took him to Nottingham last weekend for a rugby tournament and he felt the cold a bit, but back down here in London he walks around in a T shirt most of the time.
He too misses his family in the P.I. but loves it here, he thinks he has more freedom and feels safer. The only thing he said which did cause some embarassment, and wasnt racial in any way on his part, when meeting other people who ask him whats he thinks of London, he replied he didnt realise there was so many black people here. Also he had trouble understanding why it doesnt get dark at 5.30/6.00 pm. He enjoys our bread and most of the food, english mustard blew his head off last night when we went out for a meal, and after a glass of red wine he had a glazed look on his face.
Hope you carry on enjoying your new experiances just as we are enjoying the reaction of our latest family member.
