Yeah cheers. 15 years in East Dulwich. It served us well and grateful for our time in SE22. But....big world out there to explore and experience. A world beyond William Rose, the latest burger bar and strange bottles of yellow liquid. :-)


We did the research, kept running the maths and it became "why wouldn't we do this?"


Brexit is about to remove the amazing opportunity we have to freely move to and work in Europe. But for 15 euros I'm now a resident of Portugal, our kids will start an amazing British school here and we're 10 mins walk from the beach. Food is 20% cheaper. Holidays will be a few hours down to the Algarve, or a short drive to Spain. Plus same time zone as UK for remote working.


I'm sure I'll miss the pub, bacon and BBC iPlayer but whatever happens it feels like we'll have an adventure to remember.

    • They’ve backed away from pretending they produce their own goods recently. That claim sat at the centre of the misdirection for years. They’ve now accepted they can’t sustain it, so they’re beginning to highlight the local independent bakeries whose products they actually sell. The business is essentially a courier model running on a slim margin.
    • Another sparrow hawk visor to our cherry tree at the weekend.  Our robin survived, but we may be a sparrow down.     any thoughts on bird feeders & bird baths with the current bird flu?  I try to wash out the bird bath most days when at home, but not on the 3 days in a row that I’m in the office & the bird feeders rather less regularly. Would it be better not to have at all (as my partner thinks)? 
    • OOOPS. My daughter just had to pay a five pound fine. I hadn't put a stamp on it. I remember wondering whether to use a  first or second class stamp,  and clearly when I posted it I still hadn't decided (but sadly didn't notice). I feel really bad for suspecting a postie might have  opened it.  Sorry posties.
    • If anyone is thinking about selling one, please reach out 🙂
