Congratulations! Made it to the UK from the US yesterday myself. Let's hope our new lives will be great!

Good to have you here comrade.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Glad to be here!

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Wondering why I hadn't see you posting much recently. May and September are the two best weather months on the south of the UK.

Would you mind sharing how you moved to the UK and what the requirements / difficulties were? Thank you!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

I am happy to share, but I am afraid it won't help many others. I am lucky because of who my father was.

Damn, that's great to hear. Welcome in Europe comrade.

Welcome! Weather's a bit shite at the moment and monsoon season (February to May) is just around the corner, but it'll brighten up for 2 weeks in June and for the last 2 weeks of August.

Drop me a DM if you're heading up Manchester way and I'd happily give you a tour and you're more than welcome to come over to my family's place for a Sunday Roast.

You should have seen what it was like when we left the U.S. in terms of weather. This is far better. Thanks!
