Good luck with the move, Emma! I've moved countries more times than I can remember, and it never gets any easier.

Thanks so much, Jeffrey! It’s the opposite for us - we have been a long time (close to 40 years!) in one place and in the same house… It will be a challenge but we’ll manage it!

Thank you, Rupert. I will miss Jamaica! We both will.

I don't feel I can write about a place when I am not there. I will find other things to write about, I hope.

saying goodbye to a country you love is always bittersweet. Hope you will keep writing. I am in Italy

Yes, I will keep writing, somehow. Our son's partner is Italian, and expecting a little girl - part of the reason why we are returning...

Back to the UK, where I was born, where our family is (especially our son, who is expecting our first grandchild soon!) The sorrow will pass. Thank you for the waves and hugs!

Thank you so much, Beth! It is an exhausting process, as perhaps you know. Yes, feelings are very mixed, but life moves on! New adventures we will have!

Yes, it can and it must. I have little waves of sadness, but also happiness too. Challenging it is, thank you for your kind thought.
