I hear what you're saying. Not something to be taken lightly - and there's the worry of if anything should happen we've gone from being the new family in town to "those dirty foreigners"
Going to be a nicer place to raise the little 'un though. Unless I can somehow pull a few grand out of my arse and get us into a sleepy little Devonian town somewhere.
yes, we did-fleetingly- consider buying property in Bulgaria or somewhere like that-you can get some silly cheap property over there- but we dont speak the language and if everything goes pear shaped- like you say we would be "those nasty foreigners" so we moved home to Devon instead, i really wouldnt want to be anywhere else now, my family is from North Devon and OH comes from a town just 13 miles up the road so we are HOME!! would like to buy our own property in the middle of nowhere where we can set up a smallholding prior to "the event" but at pres dont have the dosh( story of my life)
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
