    The plan - pre Covid - was in the next few years is to spend more time in Buenos Aires between contracts. The city is intoxicating in so many ways (people, culture, food and drink) plus the dancing is almost transcendental.

    Having lived in Mexico City - Amazing place, and LA - I do miss a lot about it, and now Shanghai, which is a good life. I would love to live in NZ or Hawaii. Hong Kong maybe also.

    Once went to Morocco; while driving from Casablanca to Kenitra, saw a dog eating a dead dog at the side of the motorway.:eek:

    Since leaving the UK in 1999, I’ve lived in Germany, Nepal and now Georgia. I have loved living in all three, but living in Georgia now is fantastic. Scenery, history, culture, food, wine all at low cost. Downside is the distance to the sea and the disappointing beaches when you get there (nowt beats Filey). I’ve been lucky enough to visit over 60 countries through holidays and work and that just makes the choices harder. Greece is most definitely high on my list though…as is Slovenia. But I am in no hurry to leave Tbilisi and looking forward to returning to my holidays in Wath and Filey once COVID goes away!

    Holiday in Wath - sounds like a Half Man Half Biscuit song!


    New Zealand for me - never been but it looks like Scotland on steroids.

    New Zealand for the wild trout streams.

    Wouldn't mind living in Rural France again blazing summers and baltic winters, however following Brexit , no right of abode is quite troublesome.
    13 yrs in Singapore though has made me quite partial to this part of the world, but again with Visas and such like , might end up back in Yorkshire at some point.

    Despite the present government, I am happy where I am. If I had to move elsewhere it would be Scotland.

    Over 60 - that's good going! I'm somewhere between 30 and 40, but not sure whether some count or not...

    At the moment, my preferred method of distraction during long, boring zoom calls is the browse houses in County Louth, particularly around Dundalk - easy connections to Dublin or Belfast, close to the coast and also the "mountains" so plenty to enjoy and none of the issues with the other EU countries due to being part of the CTA.

    West Bromwich sounds nice.

    And stripes are so fetching.
