We're a family of migrants.
Two of my three children, two of whom have families of their own, live and work overseas. The third has returned from Berlin but may well base himself overseas in the future.
I'm uncomfortable about how we consider visitors who work here as immigrants.
I don't think of my family as migrants. I really hope that the residents of countries where they live and work treat them with respect and value the contribution they make to the local economy.
I hope they don't get angry if they hear my kids speaking in a foreign accent or language......I really hope, too, that they won't feel swamped by my kids.
Some of my family will no doubt return to the UK, others will stay in the countries where they currently live.
In fact, just like the people from overseas who are helping us rebuild our shattered economy.
