Sad To Go , But We Will Return :)

[StreetCowboy]

Lovely words all - Thanks

I'm hearing less nice words from my 'mates' back home - jealous buggers they are

-

What you mean like "are you crazy? don't do it!" ?

I would agree with that sentiment, no I am hearing...'Oh so you couldn't hack it overseas then?'...that kind of negative <deleted>

Ahhh natural Scottish pessimism. Counter that by smiling and saying you at least have a nice suntan.

The most parochial of my friends that I keep in touch with lives in London. Though, to be fair, I don't maintain close contact with many...

Personally, I miss having a home town where people know each other and have lived all their lives - not to the extent that I would live there, though.

I'm seriously considering moving the family back to the old country, for the sake of the kids' freedom, and to save money on their education in the long run.

Even in the short run. Top quality education can be had in Thailand but it doesn't come cheap from the outset. If I had kids then I too would be considering the same thing.

Scotland has some of the best schools.

All the best back home Chonabot.

I just moved back to Scotland after ten years, got a job offer I couldn't refuse. Got the best of both worlds now, still got our places in Thailand and will get back a couple of times a year on holiday.

Get your winter woolies looked out if you're coming back soon. Minus 5 forecast again tonight

Nice post, all the best bakc home and hope the family health issues are not too worrisome for your dad and for your own immediate family.

Best of luck wherever.

[mickjn]

All the best for your future endevours

[rct99q]

A good thing your doing. One of the few regrets in my life was not getting back to see my mother before she passed away in England.

All the best.

Thailand will always be here in some shape or form awaiting your return.

[PeaceBlondie]

All the best back home Chonabot.

[transam]

Nice OP post.

[fletchsmile]

Great decision to spend time with your parents. Thailand will always be here. The time we have to spend with those we care about is limited.

Cheers

[GooEng]

nice post! sounds like you came for good reasons and are leaving for good reasons too - happy trails and have a good time in scotland, there are much worse places to be.

[roamer]

My wife is looking forward to returning to LOS this summer to see her parents. Her only regret is that it leaves her no time to go tramping through the Glens. Good luck mate.

[NoshowJones]

Good luck and I wish all the best in Sunny Scotland. Hope to see back sooner, rather than later, and, yes, well done for putting your family first.

Sunny Scotland????????

There is no greater gift you can give your kids than their education - and that doesn't mean saving all your money and sending them to Eton! I'm sure your time here and in India will have given your son (Tom - great name) an education no money can buy and he'll end up being a well rounded, open minded, noninsular individual & an expert on lawnmowers.
