Homesick in the modern world

What does it mean to be homesick in 2015, and does technology help or
hinder us when we move to a new place? John Osborne revisits his past
to find out.
I’m standing outside a cottage in the Vienna woods. It’s where I used to
live and this is the first time I’ve been back since I left ten years ago.
The roads are steep here, and as I walked up the hill from the tram stop
the slope felt reassuringly familiar. I recognised the ache in the back of
my legs that told me I was nearly there.

Saturnweg, Merkurweg, Jupiterweg. The streets take their names from

the solar system, and that seems appropriate for a place that felt so
alien and far away when I first arrived. There is a romance to the
planets, though, and I feel the same about the alignment of these
streets. In the distance is the most spectacular view of the hills. And
here, the little cottage with the green gate. The only house on the street
without a swimming pool.

I’m not surprised I was homesick when I first arrived here. The
22-year-old version of me must have been completely out of his depth. I
didn’t keep a diary back then, but if I did, for day one I’m sure I’d have
just written “Oh dear”.
