I live abroad. Since moving permanently 3.5 years ago, not a single family member has visited. Mind, they’ve all taken multiple holidays elsewhere. I was thinking of going back quickly before Christmas this year, but have decided against it.
It’s my uncle’s 75th. I’ll send a card. I’m broke and am always excited to visit until I arrive and feel like an intrusion. Plus I spend loads of money I don’t have and keep myself on UK hours so I am able to work.
