It's easy to fall in love with the place after a couple of weeks on holiday and think you could spend all year round there, thats why I'm off for a couple months in a few weeks. I want to dip my toe in the water a few times before I decide about spending the rest of my days out there. Besides, I have 2 kids here and it wouldnt be until they're grown up I'd make the move, something I see myself doing when I'm in my 40s. Ideally, like Laurel, I'd split my time between the two countries, perhaps spending summers here in the UK.

It's all about the finances though
