Re: Best relocation areas in the UK?
My friends said Liverpool was a place they plan to enjoy once back in the UK for good. His direct quote was a fun night out is a great way to describe Liverpool. They're not moving until spring so there is still a ways to go before the big move.
You have a lot of family there and I'm sure they are looking forward to your return. How does your partner feel about the move to the UK? Looking forward to it as much as you? Has your partner ever lived in the UK before?

My husband has never actually lived in the UK but has been there on many occasions when visiting my family.
He is originally from South Africa and prefers the warmer weather.

I'm sure your partner will adjust quickly to the change in weather. I did it for a year and honestly it wasn't that bad, and my body is use to Florida weather. The culture change will more than make up for any climate disadvantages. Wait till your partner enjoy a few visits at the pub.

Lots of British people here. It's my home town, husband is a Scouser and lived in Liverpool until he was 40. We moved back to Merseyside to retire, but he'd forgotten how much he hated the weather there. I can be happy in either country, so we moved back to Perth. I don't let him complain about the heat now

Re: Best relocation areas in the UK?
When I think of my/our favourite times in Perth they all relate to Spring, Autum and yes...Winter lol...not the summer though, we were more indoors than outdoors at that time of year., even after 14 years we did not really edjust to those high temps and we are very outdoorsy people which made.it worse. I am heading totCheshire oaks next week ..nearly your old part of the world....North west news has just been on tv and this Thursday is going great to be a barmy 15 for Manchester lol

Re: Best relocation areas in the UK?
Your showing lots of homes in the Manchester/ Liverpool/ Wirral area UK winds Does that mean your friends have made a decision to move up there ?
You simple can't compare most British homes to American ones. Americans build much more spacious homes because they don't generally build in brick. Brick built homes are the norm in the UK and are therefore much more expensive with less space.
You showed a home in Bolton . We used to live in a village not far from there. I loved that town. My family have strong connections to the Wirral as well. We lived in Southport for 11 yrs and I would have stayed there for good . OH certainly would for the golf. Heh ho. I got 30 yrs of the Netherlands instead

Re: Best relocation areas in the UK?
I love Cheshire Oaks! My sisters loved it too, had to take them there every time they visited. Yes, the Perth summers certainly aren't for everyone, including me. Sometimes people don't believe that it gets too hot here to actually do anything except stay in the air conditioning. Have a great time at CO - hope you get lots of great bargains
Now I want to go there 🤔

he would then drive us down to Conwy if we had time, as he knew I just loved that castle and the settings...

Re: Best relocation areas in the UK?
Another lovely memory Brits, Conwy is very special to me. The first time we went we visited the castle and surrounds, then went for a walk along the high street. There's a little jewellers shop there and as scouse had proposed to me a couple of months before, we went in to look at rings. The jeweller was just shutting his doors, but he took pity on us and let us in for a browse. We asked to see the Clogau catalogue as we loved the idea of getting wedding rings made with Welsh gold. We chose our rings which had to be custom made, and the jeweller sent them to us in Australia a few months later. So special and such a beautiful place. Your dad was a good egg to drive you there on your visits.
