    Hi and welcome! I'm a Californian and am married to an English guy. We met in SF, then lived in London and Vancouver before coming back to CA to have DS.

     Good luck with your move! 

     

    Thank you :D I lived in London most of my adult life !! Im originally from Leeds though.

     

    Thank you - we are gonna need it! we are still waiting on our visa interview and its already taken 3 months!! heres hoping the move and visa process quickens up as my hubs new report date is in a few weeks! 

    We did the interview here(in the States), but it really wasn't too bad. It just takes for flippin' ever to take care of all the paperwork and for everything to come though.

     I've never been to Leeds, closest I've been is Manchester and Blackpool Embarrassed

     

    yeah it does seem to take a crazy long time! im just really hoping we get the interview and the visa within the next 7 weeks - i just got my husband back  8 weeks ago  after him being in Afghan for a year - even  a few weeks apart seem like wasted time!

    what did you think of Manchester and Blackpool?? 

  • imagestever:
    Oh and where in London did you live? We lived in West Hampstead then Chiswick, but looked all over the place when we were flat-hunting.

    I lived in a few different places  - Kennington, Brixton and Dulwich, Richmond. I used to be a nanny and then after i went to Uni - i then worked at The Photographers Gallery.
