When I left for UK same time last year my heart was light and eagerly looking forward to whatever the future held for me...new job, new challenges (and there were certainly plenty of them) meeting new people, making new friends, reunions with old friends, see family again, travel to new places, esp Paris (Oh! Paris you were beautiful) and Canada (just awesome).
This time I have exactly the same to look forward to and more but the pull to stay in Aus is so much stronger. I suspect I am homesick. I cannot recall feeling this way ever before not even when I emigrated at the tender age of 25.
