Good to hear from you lordna... and that all is okay with you and the family.

I moved over here permanently (Pangasinan) back in June 2018, having already retired back then.

I'm just keeping busy extending the house, DIY, etc. The Mrs is a keen grower of ornamental plants now, and sells them.

We do have lots of (lovely) family close by, so our now 5 year/going on 6 year-old boy is never short of playmates.

I have my 13A probationary visa, so starting to feel a bit more secure and settled here.

The quiet life is fine for me and the family, out here in the sticks.
