How to move to England by Cloudberry

"What can I say? It's a new life."

How I did it: It was just time, and I met the right person. First I had to rid myself of my wretched job, then I got a work visa, sold my apartment, packed up and shipped a critical mass of stuff, stored the rest, bought a one-way ticket (probably should've just bought a round-trip and tossed the second half), made some half-assed arrangements for freelance work and, well, here I am!

(Posting this here just because I felt I needed to give myself credit for accomplishing *something* this year!)

you lucky thing

I am a complete anglophile and have a fevered dream about hiring a cottage somewhere in Dorset and just writign and writign and writing.

The sad truth is that I do not DO anything about it: I just dream.

Saraband is trying to get back more often

Having the dream in the first place

means that maybe one day you’ll feel ready to act on it.

It’s a wonderful dream :)
