Re: Where to retire?
Has anyone seen David Dimbleby's Picture of Britain? So, so brilliant. I thoroughly recommend it to everyone going home as he observes Britain's beauty and its rich culture perfectly.

There are plenty of expats living there, I have found a forum which is super friendly, and English is an official language. I have heard that it is cheaper to live there than England or Germany, furnished apartments are easy to find to rent, and cost a lot less than in the UK. Easy access to all major European cities. Great climate (for me, who is used to heat after 26 years in South Carolina). It is a small island, for me that is good, as I have no family or friends left in England so I am at a loss to know where I would live there. But in Malta, not so much choice! Public transport is inexpensive and I won't need to drive a car to get around. Malta and UK have an agreement, so healthcare would not be a problem. I am thinking of giving it a six month try initially. I could go on, pm me if you wish.
My dad lived for a number of years in Malta after WW2 - I know that's a long time ago :eek: but he always said how warm and friendly the people were. |

Possibly Penticton in Canada, for those long hot summers.
