In Welsh there's a word that doesn't have a direct English translation; "hiraeth". It means a sort of nostalgic longing for your home country. I think a little hiraeth is inevitable for all of us. And probably no bad thing. It's good to have something/someone to miss.

Right now, Surin is my home, when I arrive in Mauritius, that will be my home.....England will probably always feel like home too....I think we are lucky to have so many places which we feel at home!

He grew up in in England with an English father and Nepalese mother (as well as a Nepalese name) but moved to New Zealand at the age of 11 and is now a New Zealand citizen and a member of their army. His mother and her new husband still live in England. I have no idea where he calls "home" or whether he considers himself to be British/English, Kiwi or Nepalese or all of them or none of them. As for myself, I was never more aware of how English I am than when I moved to Wales... I'd never even considered it before!
