new on here!
 
hi all! I am originally from the North East of England, my wife is from Coventry. (But I don't hold it against her... she is doing the typing, I am a two finger man). We now live in Canada, since 1974. We have had enough of the weather and are looking at moving to Panama. We have done a hec of a lot of research and it seems the place to go.

I find the same although many find them to shy and the weather a little hard to get to grips with,most leave within two years but I am finally feeling settled in,we live in a very remote location (our personal dream )Have you found anyone in Panama? Maybe on the Rest of the world forum.

I'd rather make my furniture out of toilet roll inner tubes - it would last longer. And I can make breakfast at home.

I'm working my way back through my posts trying to find out where on earth I gave you the impression I was Scottish. I can see how that bloody great big Welsh flag that appears underneath everything I post must have added to the confusion...
