Ok well here I am...not got my connection sorted yet, but the good old local library has it for free.

The voyage home was fairly smooth...apart from me losing my TM card somewhere between immigration and the gate, and them my mrs losing me at Gatwick..

Freezing cold...very expensive, and neighbours getting pissy over us using their wheelie bins.

My new flats brand new but fairly small....my mum has also used it to dump all her junk which she was storing elsewhere...village is awesome, proper English boonies vibe... I'm getting a car tomorrow (2001 Rover 45)...so thing are all good...when I get back online at home there will be some pics.

Well good to see you and the family back in the uk safe.
Think it will be a big shock as first with prices over there, one thing for sure you aren't gona get noodle soup for 30p in a restaurant.

Good luck keep us up to date with the uk, oh, all has been well on the Forum as you can see, even I'm here

Mate - it's been warm just lately. When I arrived back it was well below zero for the first few days! Big freeze coming again soon in time for the holiday weekend

Petrol's damned expensive now: £1.10 per litre and £1.16 (or thereabouts) for diesel, and rising. Sigh.
But, welcome back home, Louis and family, and enjoy!!

Council have to supply the bin for you cos you'll be paying council tax (I have 3 - black, normal; green, garden and food; blue, recyclables). Otherwise you can bag it up and take it to the dump for free. £92 a month local tax though

Nothing like an English village in May - not long now
