I wrote this blog post for an Irish expats returning to Ireland facebook group. I am an Irish but have lived abroad for 8 years. We returned to Ireland with a young family in February 2018. I hope you enjoy the post…..

Yesterday marked the end of our first year back in Ireland. What a year. I posted in this forum about 5 months after we got back and shared some of the positive aspects of being back. I was blown away by the number of people who commented saying they were delighted to hear some positivity about returning to Ireland. One (astute) man commented on the thread and said something along the lines of “see if you feel the same way in another 6 months” – so, I thought I would update my previous post and share the highs and lows of our first year back.
