A Norwegian in the UK’s Story

2nd June 201823rd September 2017 by In Limbo

I’m a Norwegian female living and working in the UK for several decades. My life is here, but also in Norway. Do I feel unwelcome? Not by those that matter. But I do feel in limbo and slightly overwhelmed by the PR application I am reluctantly initiating. This piece of paper I’d never thought I’d need, is now needed.
