Guten Tag!

Currently dark, wet and windy, with the occasional clap of thunder here!

Ex-pat Brit, born and bred, but moved somewhere more interesting - France and Spain didn't 'do' it for me, but here is well-good, yer knows!

It's a very pleasant -35*C here today, shame the windchill is taking it down to -47*C, now why did we choose to move to Canada again,we set off to move to Spain, warm weather cheap red wine, nice horses............




Yeah why didn't we move there

WARM!! haha... ok it was actually warm today, in the 30's now is 5'c Brrr (-35!! s*d that, thats arctic) and Ive got me electric blanket on! and forecast snow soon, but hey thats what living in up a mountain does!.... but yes the vino is cheap.. nice decent stuff for €5 for 5 litres

but as for the horses... hmmm, seen one PRE horse, seen them all.... haha

Well, I have one passport that says I can be in here and one that doesn't. Technically I am "overseas" . . .depending on how you define you terms.

I'll just go with Interntional Spy and join all the available groups.

Me too! Currently living in the USA. Can't see us returning to the UK though. Unfortunately left my horse in the UK and haven't ridden here for 4 yrs now.

 

[Fairynuff]

Fairy, have you taken Italian Citizenship or anything like that? Or did you just move and stay as a Scot?

I moved and stayed a Scot No way would I take Italian Citizenship, even the embassy in Rome advised me not to! I do like to have an escape hatch if needed

China checking in!! I'm in Hong Kong, originally from London / Oxon / Berks (not sure what counts as 'originally'!!) and I have horses in Spain...talk about confused (should I mention that my OH is from Denmark and his children are in France...?!).

Anyway, great to see lots of other expats, repats and nonpats in here!! It's been a balmy 27 degrees and clear blue skies in HK today

Learn to shoot straight

Where are you heading for?

Dam weather, they were calling for a heatwave this weekend, all the way to -8*C and now it is going to be -20*C and snowing....still hoping to take a couple of the guys to my friends indoor and have a play

 

[Enfys]

Jiffy sssssssssshhhhhhhhhh, 27C that's about 39C warmer than me, and even more than BB

Currently, this is the view from my back door

Oh er, not a good idea then?

 

[joosie]

Where did you live in Italy?

Emilia Romagna, nearest city was Reggio Emilia. Incidentally my boss there was a Scot! I also did a 3-month stint up in the Appenine Mountains near a little village called Piandelagotti. I adored Italy!

 

[La Fiaba]

Wow joosie, you have really itchy feet

 

[Festive_Felicitations]

Another confused nationality!

 

[Festive_Felicitations]

I seem to like blue, red and white countries...must branch out and live somwhere with more colour!

Now I have to go and find out what the 2nd flag is, I am not too good on those.

The Canadian flag wouldn't do it for you.

In Australia, do the different States (is that what they are called - it is Provinces here) have different flags as well? Ontarios' is fairly boring.

 

[Big Ben]

The Saskatchewan flag

no accident in colours I think

 

[Nicnac]

I'm also a hybrid. Now in South East UK but hail from across the pond (the very small pond to the right of the UK); sweet little place with excellent food OK it's Belgium and have rather a lot of Welsh blood

BUT have lived in Minnesota so understand COLD winters and Nassau where it's hot, hot, hot.

Hope to move to Normandy in 5 years times when I stop the rat race.

Can I be here too or is it only for peeps who are O/S right now?

 

[TarrSteps]

We are defining "overseas" as "not where you are originally from", I think. Very inclusive, seeing as we are all citizens of the world.
