Yeah man, I'm super happy to have met a few like-minds. He does software development for charities and she's a uni lecturer. They live almost opposite us in a place full of kids and bikes and guitars.
sorry to hear you're feeling that way dude. A bit of homesickness and WTF have we done panic is par for the course I reckon. I'm feeling far more relaxed about things at the moment. My attitude now is that, if we decide that it isn't the right thing for us then we can change it. We could go back (to a flat) in London or we could try somewhere else.
I honestly love a lot about living here: the house, the countryside and seaside on the doorstep the old town a 5 min walk away with its independent shops, , the markets and local produce, the amenities are great and the neighbors are sweet too... but if we decide that the culture or the commute or the financial situation are not working for us then we'll just make a change. It might not be ideal but it's within our power to change.
Until then I see the ongoing process of assimilation as being a work in progress.
