    Yes, I would also never completely close all doors to Blighty, we will always retain a property here just in case...

    Now, clearly I'm not as rich as you folk, so it will be a case of living a pretty simple life out there for me and my family.

    I will try to do a few months here and a few months there for as long as possible, as I don't think it would be sensible to give up my (rocking horse doo doo) OAP bungalow until I absolutely have to... and who knows what will happen with the immigration rules in the future, so best to keep my/our options open.

    We've already got our little starter home and land out there, so hopefully we can build a pleasant life around that, and my UK pension.

    All sounds the right way, and who knows what will happen in a few years time.

    Graham since when has being Rich brought happiness, clearly you have a lovely family, and i for one envy you that, Im aware that you like me are a victim of the unfair immigration rules which penalise people of a certain age, and prevent us from having a life in OUR own country with our loved ones, whilst people who have NO connection to the UK continue to be able to come to the UK as and when they please.

    It penalizes all who would like to bring someone here from the Philippines and other places unless you have enough funds to fund all that is required .
    I cannot see any changes soon that is going to be helpful to the future people wanting to bring there partners here.
