Dordogne - to buy now or to wait ?
Dear Expats, We are at the start of a planned permanent move to The Dordogne once we are in a financial position to take early retirement. We would like to purchase a property (with a mortgage) within the next 18 months to use as a holiday ... Read More
Fruit/Veg/Local Produce Markets by Mellieh
Not an overly important question in the grand scheme, but I was wondering what the food shopping culture was like in Malta. When I've been on holiday to some other places in the Med, I love to go to the outdoor food markets to buy fresh fruit ...
It's great to know good produce can be found... It sounds a bit sad, but I actually really enjoy shopping for fruit and veg, and it makes it seem more wholesome somehow if you are buying misshapen specimens from a market or a stall. :) Read More

Making new friends by Mellieh
Hello, I was just wondering how easy it is to make a new circle of friends in Malta. We may be coming out next year as my husband has a potential new job out there. I love the idea of living in Malta but I have to admit that I am a bit phased about ...
Thank you, I'll have a look 😊 Read More

Best areas to live while working in Sliema by Mellieh
Hello. I may have a job opportunity in Sliema next year.... I don't want to spend best part of my day commuting in and out of town as I currently do in London. Sooooo my question would be, which areas should I be looking at to rent? I'm ...
Face deodorant and breezy shoes!!! I can't stop chuckling.... 😄 I too have Monica hair, but very fine blonde, turns into one big frizzy dreadlock at the first hint of humidity or fog. Read More

Oh no... We sold our own little Flintstone-mobile to the breakers yard last week... Kind of regretting that now!! Haha Read More

Ah brilliant, I will definitely have a read and I would really be interested in seeing what happens next, I'm sure a lot of people teetering on the edge of decision would find it really useful too.. x Read More

I didn't realise there was no council tax, and from what I've heard about the driving, I think we'd sell our cars and buy a cheap Flintstone-mobile when we get there ;) so that's another expense less. I think we'd be okay with a ... Read More

Hi Brightbug, I'll have a look at your suggestions, thank you. I know everyone is different and it will all be a lot clearer when we come out to visit Malta, but do you think the general lifestyle out there makes up for giving up a nice home ... Read More

I think a 40 minute commute in Malta sounds bliss compared to what we currently do. We are just waiting to see what the salary offer would be now, as seems although renting in Malta might be cheaper than renting in Central London, it's not ... Read More

Also I suppose the transport situation all depends on your perspective. We get the coach from Kent to London everyday and at least 3 days out of 5 something breaks down in the Blackwall Tunnel and everything comes to a standstill for hours and ... Read More

Oh you are from London too 😊. I'm a Londoner but house prices drove me out to Kent. It's such a huge decision and this work opportunity has come out of the blue. We have always said that we want to move away from the UK and have ... Read More

Hello and thanks for your reply. We are coming over as a married couple with two cats in tow, so we would definitely need our own accommodation, not a shared one. I did think Sliema seemed very expensive, I've been looking online and I ... Read More
