> bouts of homesickness- even after 10 years of living abroad.

After nearly forty years in Norway I have no wish at all to return to the UK to live. Every time I listen to BBC R4 I hear some horror story about poverty or poor health. 6 million people (almost 10% of the population) on hospital waiting lists, pre-school children having such bad teeth that they have to have them all removed; that's just a sample from the last two days.

I do enjoy long holidays there as a tourist though because there is so much visible history. And it's warmer than Norway in the summer!
