Thank you all for the welcome to BE.
Welcome.

When I got my first apartment, I went out for a walk, the soil is acid here so azaleas do extremely well, I wandered for a while till a police car drove up and asked me it I was lost. It wasn't a big deal, they were quite friendly, but went away shaking their heads at the thought of walking around, they would have driven slowly around.

Anyone got an update on how our new pool is coming along?

So hello to you all. If I become eloquent enough, I may even join in with more serious matters, such as Pet Peeves and football talk

Welcome....what part of town have you landed in? There are a whole bunch of us out on the west side, and a few down south.

Long shot, but you're not a Geordie are you? I was talking with a friend today who met someone who had been here a couple of weeks and had exactly the same urge with her kids

Greetings! I only found out about this site today and am completely new! Originally from Suffolk and now in Hilton Head SC. Can anyone tell me if there is a discussion group on this site that deals with BBC TV Channel reception.

I am actually located in Sun City, Hilton Head, a 55 and over retirement community. It takes about 30 minutes to get to Savannah's River Walk. May I ask where you work?
