Default Arrived In Florida And Loving It

well were eventually here from the concrete cow city of milton keynes to warm friendly naples florida....passed my florida driving test and managed so far to stay on the correct side of the road. Milton Keynes had snow on Wednesday ...oh what a shame! Missing Heinz baked beans, custard, branston pickle, cadburys choc and aunt bessies yorkshire puds but thats a small price to pay for warmth and laid back life i hope to lead.

Welcome to FL... I am in Tampa - about 150 miles north.

Hope you are enjoying it so far. I have been in a few states here and Heinz BB are pretty easy to find - just have to know where to look.

If you find an expat group, sure they will point you in the right direction.

Cheers
