Merry Christmas Everyone! by JimJ

I hope that you're all enjoying the festive season, and eating/drinking to (minor) excess. If you're in BG, enjoy the mild weather - winter arrives next week, apparently....

Vesela Koleda to everyone! I arrived back in the UK yesterday to spend Christmas with hubby, it's actually a balmy 6 and sunny here. In our village, it's currently -1 and headed for -7 tomorrow, but no snow! Read More

Digital Hermit, i love that choice of name! I think we all are to some extent, or we wouldn't be online. I agree there's a wonderful amount of information available, and my experience has been that there can still be surprises. Vesela koleda! Read More

@digitalnomad1Lucky you having an Irish passport! I'd been told all my life my grandfather was Irish so assumed I'd have no problem. Turns out he was born in Liverpool! No wonder despite scouring Irish birth records I couldn't find him.It sounds to ... Read More

Safety and crime very much depends where in the UK one is. Our UK house is in a commuter belt town not far from London, which appears on internet lists of good low crime places to live near London. My husband left the front door ajar while in the ... Read More
