    Frances, welcome to the Forum, so you will go to live in Somerset, a very nice part of the UK, very scenic, don't forget to check on things you will want to bring, because I am not sure how well served Somerset is with Filipino things.

    Especially Datu Puti Vinegar and Pancit Canton, hehehehehe, but good luck with your paperwork gathering, and don't forget to have a good luck at what type of car you will have when you arrive in country, because its always a good help to the prospective husband if you know which car you will like.

    Husbands in Uk tend to want to make sure you have the right colour and model, if you drive, so don't forget to attend to that whilst you are researching.

    Best of Luck.

    Hello Rob

    Well spotted, my avatar is a photo taken a couple of weeks ago at Knightstone Island, looking across Weston super Mare.

    I don't live in Weston....Guess where I live???.....yep! you guessed it sunny Clevedon. Should have a picture of Clevedon Pier, on my avatar shouldn't I.
    I doubt much has changed, from when you were here? It stays pretty much the same, but I kinda like it.

    Cheers! Sim

    We used to live in Victoria Road (don't tell me you live there as well!!).

    Mum used to run the old Mount Pleasant nursing home, but it closed years ago, its all been converted to flats now so I've been told. We left in 1988, I should really make an effort to get down to Clevedon one day, still in contact with some old schoolfriends.

    The Pier is still standing then?

    No I don't live in Victoria road, but know it well.
    I've lived in several places, around the town, living here since the age of 4.
    Went through the education system here.
    Looking at your avatar, you do look slightly familiar?

    Hello Rob
    Wasn't avoiding you, was out all day yesterday. As the big Boss says I don't have messaging. I fully intend to be on here regularly, so I'm sure we'll catch up. In the meantime..."Have a nice day!"

    ...And hello again Frances, since we've hi-jacked your thread
