"Thanks for that, Pat.
I look forward to experiencing the wonderful scenery of Kentucky, and my partner has said the caves are marvellous, and we should do some exploration. However, we are more keen on CO or WA so will end up, fingers crossed,…"

"Kain-tuck-ee? Good luck! As Jerry said, some parts are less primitive than others. Eastern Kentucky is beautiful, with the Appalachian Mountains. Well, the scenery, at least. I live about 40 miles from the city of Paducah, in Western Kentucky.…"

"Thank you, Jerry. He will be homeschooled initially, which he has been before, and prefers, utilising the resources from a local high school (eg, science labs, music and drama rooms, etc.). The plan is to not stay in KY for longer than a…"

"Hey Michael,
Thanks for the reply, and interesting question. Mostly I get "how COULD you move away from God" hahaha.
I was taught to question most things I am taught, particularly if I am told to "take it on faith". I…"

Separated, divorce to be granted mid-year and planning a move soon to the US to be with my partner who lives in Kentucky.I was raised Catholic and am raising my son as an atheist.
