Arsenal midfielder Reiss Nelson says it's been easy to settle at loan club Hoffenheim.
Nelson's family have all moved close to Hoffenheim's base to counter any potential loneliness.
"I've a really tight family," he said. "We're taking life as it is in England - my mum (Jackie), my sister (Tessa) and my brother (Ricky).
"We all made that decision together and they thought it best to come over and help me during my time over there. It's helped me, 100 per cent. My mum's cooking has been great!
"Luckily for me loneliness isn't an issue. There are boys over there who will say 'come over Reiss, I've got nothing to do' so I do see the down side sometimes.
"Sinsheim is a little village where everyone loves football. If you go out to Heidelberg, where I'm living, it's a bit more like a city and we can go out as a family. It's not just training then home.
"They're loving it to be fair, treating it like a holiday. I come home from training and they're not even there, in the middle of Frankfurt doing a bit of shopping."
