Loving the UK

We’ve all been enjoying Britain very much. It’s so nice to be able to understand what people are saying and we’ve been enjoying talking to random strangers we meet in our normal day which we couldn’t ever do in France. As soon as we open our mouths people want to know where we’re from and they usually tell us a story about a family member or friend living in Australia. One guy even said his wife was a nurse and had just scored a job in Mackay and she would be emigrating in a few weeks and he wouldn’t be far behind her. People are very friendly to us. It makes a nice change to feel comfortable in a place. I don’t think we realised how stressed out it made us feel being constantly linguistically isolated.
