I can hardly believe it. 15 years! I apologize to everyone who thought this would be my wedding anniversary. It’s not. Or rather it is, not with my husband, but with York. It’s been 15 years since I moved to York, to England actually. Where has all the time gone? It seems impossible to me. It seems like yesterday. How quickly the years have gone but at the same time how much has happened in those years!
We moved house three times, my son, who came here as a baby, is now a gorgeous and slightly naughty teenager. My daughter was born here and has become a true Yorkshire girl. I manage to establish my business and I’m working for myself as I have always wanted. I met some lovely people and in spite of the very changeable and often disagreeable weather, I’ve had some great time here. Although I will always be a foreigner here, I can say with pride that York has become my home. And what a beautiful home! Maybe not forever (whatever it means, anyway), but surely for a bit longer, who know? Thank you, York, for all what you've given us!

Happy anniversary! Fifteen years is a long time and I'm glad you found a place that you can rightly call home.
I can also understand why you've fallen in love with York despite everything. If these photos are just a taste, then it's a beautiful place!
Happy anniversary, then. I can really imagine how glad you are of living in such a beautiful place! It has all the fascination of charming old England. :)
You've chosen a wonderful city! We were in York, walking by the river, climbing over St Mary's Abbey ruins (Charlie, that is) just a couple of weeks ago. I never tire of that city...
I visited York in July 1999 - nine months before my fourth son was born!
Happy May, Antonella! Awww, how beautiful! Zeno and I must visit York ASAP! :D Thanks for sharing those lovely photos and Happy Anniversary ;) I can't believe it's almost one year we moved here in Scotland.
One day I will have to ask you about your job, it's so cool that you run your own business. :)
Have a happy day - rainy and windy here.
Hugs!!!
Happy Anniversary Antonella, York is such a special city. I visited it years ago & I really enjoyed my stay there. It's so nice to see the photos. Love
PS I have posted a photo showing Buddy's face.
New York looks nothing like its name sake. Gorgeous!!! Happy Anniversary, Antonella!!!
Congratulazioni! Io sono a metà percorso, rispetto al tuo... Otto anni a Verona. E ti capisco benissimo... Ci vuole tempo per sentirsi "a casa" e da un po' mi ci sento anch'io.... Certo che la bellezza delle "nostre" città aiuta non poco! Ti abbraccio!
Ps. Che lavoro fai?
York looks beautiful and I'm sure the changeable weather has something to do with keeping it so green.

@Everybody: Thanks for your kind comments. Most of the time I feel privileged to live here in Yorkshire. Not so sure though when the weather is really bad!!!
Well you know as I was married in York I'm very biased - but I do agree with you, it's a very special place :)
Happy anniversary and we are lucky that you settled here otherwise we wouldn't have got to know you. Thanks for sharing your photo's of York with us.
Hugs

Sounds like it's been a beautiful, amazing match dear friend! (Hugs)Indigo
...Ah se solo ne avessi il coraggio... In più, dalla mia, c'è che quanto tu chiami "disagreeable weather" io lo *adoro*. Mi è stato insegnato che non si dovrebbe ma ti invidio un poco.
