I want to move, Lincolnshire is not where I want to grow much older. Choosing where to go is not going to be easy.

I feel your pain. Having originated in Lincolnshire, we finally managed to escape, but only to a neighbouring county. Three years ago, we were on the point of buying a house in France ( Centre / Pays de la Loire for preference), but brexit put paid to that idea. We're now pretty much resigned to staying put, with occasional visits to relatives in Lincs to remind us of the horror. Dave Yates seems to have been sucked into the vortex.

A mate of mine recently retired to a cottage in the Loire valley. Brexit didn't seem much of an impediment to him. Permanent residency permit isn't difficult to acquire for us Anglais.

The immediate drop in the exchange rate didn't help; we would have been looking at much less desirable properties than previously. Will the state pension be index-linked? No-one can tell me. If I moved to e.g. Canada it would be frozen, and decrease in buying power year on year. Will the same apply to expats in the EU? Will my local government pension( I consolidated various private-sector pension funds into this) be index-linked? No-one can tell me. What about reciprocal health-care arrangements? No-one can tell me.

Bollux! Sorry about that downer. Can we revert to discussing, er snowdrops or something?
My new batch of marmalade is OK, but lacking in bite compared with last year's. On the upside, I've corrected the spelling mistake on the otherwise excellent labels from "refigerate after opening" to "refrigerate...". Should really discuss this on Cookingbites...
Errrm, what else? I've finally persuaded my LG 'smart' TV to connect to wi-fi after multiple failed attempts.
I was on the point of shouting at some totally innocent person in Richer Sounds and telling them where to put the annoying equipment, when I discovered the secret.. I'll share it with the world when I leave a review.
LG's documentation is worse than useless - I've had a more useful user manual for a clothes prop.
