Thank you Sarah. Great to know that it offers support to other American ‘mums’. That really is one of the reasons I started it – because I had gone through that feeling of being lonely and isolated. Thank you

Hi Meg,

I came across this blog one day feeling especially lonely and isolated. I was googling for an expat group and pining for the sound of a fellow American accent. It can be difficult as an American ‘mum’, trying not to stub your toe everytime you take a social step! I’m not sure I’ll ever learn the fine British art of understatement properly, however hard I might try.

Keep the blog!

Well, I definitely eat more than hamburgers and our house is a 3 bedroom split level but we do have a pretty big yard (garden). We live in a college town with a Main Street and a beautiful campus to walk around. Oh, and I have an British dog, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel!

Hi Sharyn, thanks so much for your kind words. It’s funny because what my kids see on TV over here about America is sometimes very exaggerated. Like everyone has a HUGE house and they only eat hamburgers! Probably similar to what you see on TV about the British – they only drink tea from tea cups with saucers and say ‘Sorry’ a million times for no reason

Hi Meg,

I have enjoyed reading your blogs. It’s always nice to have some recognition about issues facing while living abroad.
But I also understand that life moves on and that it’s time to do new things.

All the best with what you are going to do.

Marjan

Hi,
I am an American in Delaware and I love your blog. I love reading about British real life, not just what is on television shows. I am a retired teacher and hope you keep up the blog but understand when real life gets in the way. You’ve done an awesome job so far!
Good luck with your decision whatever it may be…
