I find it incredible how a site like Steem is encouraging a lot of sharing of personal stories, and how we got from point A to point B in life. I wonder if that was part of the model when it was set up, or is something that's happening unexpectedly. Either way, this has all the hallmarks of great community dynamics. Loved your story. I am a huge anglophile, so I was a bit sorry yo see you uprooted from Greater London at a young age. Would have personally loved to have grown up there. As it is, I go to England with some regularity, and it's a place I would cheerfully move to in a heartbeat. My significant other is British. When we tie the know later in the year, I guess that means I'll be British at some point, too!
Thanks, Andy. I'm usually pretty cautious about what I post online. I'll be adding to this story as I move. One thing I haven't said yet is that I haven't been back to England since 1974. I watch a lot of British shows online, just to stay connected to the culture. If I do well on this site, perhaps I'll be able to take a long awaited trip back.
You will really enjoy going back! Have you watched the BBC series, Life on Mars? If not, you should. It will take you straight back to 1974...
Thanks for the tip Andy. I just looked it up. That sounds like something right up my alley.
