I live in the south of France now, but I still look back on my little
back
garden in London with great nostalgia. I think it amazing how all those
things manage to survive and thrive in such a polluted and dirty place
as
London!


So would you recomend the South of France
can we all make an exodus of the UK

When the recent horrid events (Dr Kelly) happened I didn't want to be part
of it so looked at the web site for New Zealand.

For someone our age you have to have millions of pounds.

We'll have to make the best of it here, we wouldn't want to go to a European
(i.e. foreign) country. Apart from politics it really is wonderful here.

AFAIK both NZ and Australia award concessionary immigration permits
for the aged parents of younger immigrant workers. So all you have to do
is send ahead a selection of your offspring to take root. You might
consider Australia; great climate, gardening and lifestyle.

LOL!

They're all very settled here and wouldn't move.

I think we'd prefer NZ. Apouse applied for a job there in 1970 or 1971, we
did a lot of research and were very disappointed when he didn't get it.

It would be a huge wrench to move even outside Yorkshire now! It has
everything we want. We've resolved to ignore politics.

Wumpus! Where are you when we need a demo?

Wumpus doesn't 'do' URG (at least I don't think she does....)

She lurks when she's in a good mood. Which isn't often ;-)

My cousin thought it most bizarre that we could grow stuff in his winter
time! Mind you if you see fields of Pineapples just growing instead of
cabbage it makes a bit of an impression. Did to me anyway.

I did meet a man whose passion for life was his lawn. However, it`s a
lawn but not as we know it due to the lack of moisture. Very strange but
absolutly perfect. Like a rubber carpet you bounced on it when walking
and was about 2 inches thick before you hit the soil.

Nope, was`nt a grass that i`d ever seen. More like a dense carpet of
succulants. Very strange. I`ll always remember lying on it in the
morning, a rib eye steak on the barbie, stubby of 4x heavy and talking
to my fiance on my mobile whilst looking out over Hervey Bay to Fraser
Island.

Chances are I`ll never go again.
