Barefoot gardener, be very careful what you wish for. My Son and DIL had this yearning to go live in France for many years and planned to retire there finally making it last October. What a shock, they had to live in a Gite until the found and bought a house, they were freezing for three months much colder than Appleton Wiske and the centrally heated farm. They now have their own house and lands though much work is needed. They were back for the wedding and told me they had not realised it got as hot as 40c in summer and not looking forward to that, I told them "now you know why the Siester was invented". I had nearly three years in the Middle East not seeing a single drop of rain during most of it. Back to Liverpool and the train to Aldershot I was glued to the window watching the beautiful green countryside flying by.
My urge to travel waned, my Wife had a ten day syndrome, ten days anywhere no matter how wonderful and she was ready for home. That is me now I have it all in this area why go elsewhere.
