Hope you’re enjoying life in Singapore. Must be so different to the UK even though there is Britishness there too.

After 6 years there I miss it more than my ‘own’ country sometimes… Luckily we are in Singapore now and plenty of Britishness to be had here too… And for sure I don’t miss British summers!

I don’t think I ever felt uncomfortable about that but I do break out in a light sweat when packing my shopping up for fear of taking too long!

I miss European city breaks and afternoon tea, but your point about finding a parking space outside your own house made me laugh out loud :) As for packing your shopping, it still makes me really uncomfortable to have someone else do it for me, while I stand watching them… It’s funny the things that stand out for you, isn’t it? Great post x #myexpatfamily

Writing these positives helps. Glad they help you too :-)

But obviously not as much as my British husband :-)
