This is something I'm looking to do a long way down the line, only when a) we're married and I know I can trust her with my life I'm already lucky in the fact that her family aren't gold diggers so I feel I'm on the right track. b) find the right location. I think I have, but security could be an issue. Plenty of nice estates round here but would perefer somewhere closer to the beach. The place I've got in mind I have no idea of the locals. If you're not careful could be a nightmare spending a fortune on a lot and home then finding the locals don't take to you. Anyway, for now its just a pipe dream, but definitely something I will consider further down the road, thats more of a plan than us settling in UK.
