Hi guys – thanks for all the advice. I’ve just got back from a week in the UK. Good to see that the weather hasn’t improved. It was sunny on Christmas Day when we arrived after our 11hr flight. And sunny when I had to drive from Chester back to London. Some things don’t change. Roadworks on the M6 being one of them.

But onto other matters. Looks like I should be investigating the french market for a TA. Can’t help thinking buying here and shipping may not be the best use of my money. That and the bigger choice back in Europe.  Talking of which I’d rather like a petite and slim hipped Light 15 (so not like me) with a small boot if possible. Not asking much. Upgraded electrics would be nice. Don’t think I’ll have the budget for a roadster 🙂

A trip to Healdsburg would be nice – good place for Sunday trip out. Will contact John to see if he can put me in touch with anyone local to me. It would be good to get to see one again. Been a while.

Oh and as to where we are looking to move. Down the Loire Valley toward Nantes but not sure how far south we’d go. Me – I’d head towards Bordeaux but others have other ideas. We’re a couple of years off so for now I’m trying to find out more about the cars and ownership.

I’m back in the UK in February so please lay on some good weather 🙂
