Re: Residents Return Visa...what a crock!

Well I got some bad advice (not sure if it was from here or elsewhere) to avoid meeting up with expats coz it would hamper 'assimilation' with the locals. I stupidly took that advice but I've found...

Re: Soooooo....we're off again....

Re: Soooooo....we're off again....

Well exactly, we would never have dreamed of this kind of opportunity when we lived in Bromley (!) so it seems rude not to jump in with both feet. Will miss my little niece and nephew terribly but I...
