I left home (liverpool) at 18 to join the Army, pretty much since then I've lived "elsewhere" but the majority of my life has been over here in Germany. It's good to "come home" & see family & friends even some of you lot.
The term home is very emotive & I'd say a matter of perspective. As it is, this is my home here but my homeland is England & as stated when I come back to England that's also me coming home, but my home (England) has changed way past what I knew when I left so it doesn't feel quite like home.
Convoluted I know but I suppose you'd have had to live away for a while to see what I mean & I think quite a lot of ex-pats feel the same, but when asked where's home we say England.
