Do you ever about emigrating?

[Tenmus]

I always notice how much better I feel in the hot weather and with longer days and it gets me thinking. I think about it more and more.

Probably just a castle in the sky, but I bet I wouldn't regret it if I did it...

I moved from Australia to the UK in my early 20s and have been here ever since. Now I have ill health I wouldn't be able to move to another country again, it is a big unheaval!

We would love to and discuss it all the time. I moved to Spain as a teen and it was the best time of my life, but ultimately we moved home as my younger sisters weren’t settling into school and my parents were struggling with work.

My grandparents are still there so we have nice breaks with them in the sunshine but if one of us were guaranteed a stable job we’d go tomorrow!

I did it in 2021.

And even though we've had 7 long months this winter of rain, heavy rain, every damn day now it is clearing up the warmth of the sun, the wildlife in the garden and the veg I know we can grow here just makes it all worthwhile.

The heat does get unbearable in the summer but you do your garden stuff early and late, and eat your main meal at lunchtime, and have a snooze mid afternoon when the sun is beating down and have a lovely cold drink on the terrace - it is utterly delightful.

Thanks for replying- sorry to hear about your parent.

I am with you on the adult DC. Was just musing as I read a lot of threads about how it's becoming normal for DC to be living with you well into their late twenties. Tbh that's unlikely for us as while where we live is lovely, the grad job market isn't exactly smoking hot. Anyway, DS(12) is apparently moving to Hawaii and opening a Ferrari dealership😂Finer visa details yet to be ironed out.

@LaPalmaLlama Hawaii, how lovely. This is to be encouraged. I reckon a role reversal is quite acceptable 😉
