Hi all you resident souls )

Female 40+. Seasoned marriage migrant ) - two runs in two different countries, 2nd time the charm. The guy, not the country )
No agencies involved in the process - a humble free int-l dating site, surprisingly, was enough.
Living in the UK, originally from Ukraine.

What I am after here is folks' experiences, good and bad. You are never too old to learn!
Peace of mind and  :loving: to all

Welcome,  Jesca !

I'd love to know what you WERE searching for - when you found us, by accident :)

I have never claimed to be a Blue Beret

Spurious claims about 'seeing action' with the Blue Berets are debunked >here<

Thanks Jerash.
1st time I have been out of Ukraine for nearly three years (but it was not an English-speaking country).
2nd time, which is now - it will be my 5th year in the UK.

I found this forum by complete accident on Google too. Can't remember for the life of me what I was searching for. Possibly was looking for Russian/Ukrainian dating websites.

Hope you don't have any loose roof tiles tonight.... :chuckle:

We actually had yesterday :) Although the biggest hit was losing a long aerial during Barbara/Conor wedding party. lol. (It landed at the neighbours'...)
Tonight, starting like 4 pm, it is crystal clear with all stars out - and flat calm, believe it or not. This is The North for ya )
