How far to Navigate to your BOL?

Dana,

I wrote that 'abandon ship' comment tongue in cheek. Perhaps I should have placed a smilie somewhere. Sorry.

I wanted to move away a few years ago. I was, and still am, fed up with politicians sticking their noses into everything and ruining it, taking my money and wasting it on their vote buying projects and telling us we were being selfish by complaining.

I looked around at where I could go and couldn't find one place on the planet that was not doing the same in one way or another. Switzerland being perhaps the lone exception.

When I looked at what I wanted to do though I found the UK to be the only place that had the weather I liked, no real extremes, the climate to grow almost anything and plenty of water.

I agree with all the points you made. I considered them myself but decided that going self sufficient would be my way and I could stay in a place I was comfortable with.

I have a few friends that have moved abroad, nothing to do with knowing me , for the same reasons you say and they are doing great. I understand there are pubs in most major areas set up for us, a home from home, as it is.
