e most important advice I can give is to take risks and put<br />
yourself out there. It can be uncomfortable starting over in a new<br />
and foreign place but if you invest in learning about the culture<br />
and making friends from the UK, you will find the warm undercurrent<br />
that is British friendships. I find that once the reserved<br />
and pleasantries stage is past, friends here are made for life. Don’t<br />
stick to what you are comfortable with. You may make one mistake<br />
or 50, but you will be richer for the experience and will really<br />
see what an amazing place it is.<br />
A special thank you goes to the local and expat ladies of St Albans<br />
Mum’s Facebook group for helping me discuss these points in detail.<br />
