And to you too Vero.
You might not have picked it up but there has been a tragedy on Brimscombe Hill next to Stroud.
One woman and her two children died in a fire in a stone terraced cottage. I can’t count the number of times I have driven passed this house as our lane was off Brimscombe Hill.

Happy New Year to all on SF. If this and the coming years of our new life in England is as enjoyable as the last 17 years living in France have been then bring it on.
Some topic discussions suddenly seem less relevant now but I shall still be here enjoying not only the banter but also taking in all the invaluable information posted from both sides of the water.

Wishing everyone a very happy new year and good health. I may have to use that horrible 4 letter word at some point as looking at the finances, I may have to get WORK towards the end of the summer in order to get through another year of early retirement.
