About the Exile

The Exile began in January 2007 when I moved from the UK to the US with my wife Exile #2 (heavily pregnant) and our two young children Exile #3 (4) and Exile #4 (2). We were joined three months later by Exile #5/Native #1 (or E5N1 for short).

The first seven years of our Exile is documented at Exiles in New York. In April 2014 on Day 7.091, we moved to southern Maine and our adventure continues here.

The numbering system continues from that used at Exiles in New York since the first anniversary of our arrival which I called Day 1.001 (1 year and 1 day).
