I have expat friends who ache after the big house/swimming pool etc, but all i can think is who cares if you don't have people you love to enjoy it with you!!

I am pleased that you are settled and content with life, i want to be like that at your age too. I also know it isn't going to be here, we will get out in the next year or so and restablish our what we realise now, very full of fun and happy lives back in our lovely yorkshire village.

All the best.
