I am 'home'.

Perhaps it is easier for me to call NZ 'home' as I moved here at 12 and went to school here before going back to the UK. No reminders from letters, telephone calls, or UKTV have made me feel like going back for a visit. Just as well really as visiting with four kids would warrant a remortgage.

The kids have shown no interest in visiting yet. The timing of school terms means they can only go during the UK winter (yuck!) or a short holiday in June/July. My 15yo has a lot of school homework and revision to do at the moment and going away would affect his schoolwork. They also keenly remember the long travelling distance involved and the monotomy of queuing up at check-ins, customs etc.
