Telling the story of the ups and downs, the adventurous and mundane days of one British family's self-imposed exile in the Capital Region of New York State.
Since a couple of you accused me of narcissism and suspected a large amount of work had been involved in my 1000th post last week, I thought I would repeat the very simple task for another family member. Since Exile #2 said, "You'd better never make one of those of me!" I thought I would do one of the kids and because I know he has some fans out there and the last two years and 277 days have been his story in many ways even though he didn't make an appearance until Day 88 - here is E5N1.
It turned out that between us Picasa and I have tagged him in something over 4300 photos. It took Picasa a long time to process them all into a movie, but once again - almost no effort from me (except staying awake to post this once it's done). I hope you like the soundtrack too - who knew this existed?!

Fantastic!!! I'm sure he'll look forward to you showing that to his first girlriend...
The Exile began on January 10th 2007 (Day 0) when the_exile (that's me) accompanied by Exile #2 and our two daughters (Exile #3 and Exile #4) moved from the UK to New York State in the USA. Since arriving we have had a son known as Exile #5/Native #1 (or E5N1) - dual nationality is a wonderful if cumbersome thing.
January 11th 2008 was Day 1 + 1 year - and I decided on the shorthand 'Day 1.001'.
I hope you enjoy reading these observations and stories from our everyday life.
For those who know us, it's nice to know that you are keeping up with what we are up to, forgive the absence of personal information and names etc. and I'm sorry that you have to read this to get our news.
For those we don't know personally, welcome! I hope you find something to amuse or inspire, some insight into the process of settling in having moved abroad, or whatever it is you came looking for.
To all: feel free to leave a comment, it's nice for me to know you're out there.
