Hello from Bedfordshire

[Rosie1958]

Thank you all, I like it here already!

If there happens to be anyone on here local to me (Bedford area) I wouldn't mind meeting up for a drink or something so I can bend their ears for advice. That is those partnered to Filipinos or who are familiar with the country.

Welcome to the forum, Mike. I'm in the next county to you which isn't far from Bedford, I have Filipino family and have been to the Philippines numerous times but I doubt that you will want to meet me as I am one of those "UK women" that you are disillusioned with

Best of luck, I do hope that you find what you are looking for

Ah nothing personal Rosie. I'm sure there are plenty of lovely home grown ladies, I'm just struggling to find any of them

I'm kind of confused, are you married to a Filipino guy? Daft, but I never thought of a Philippine - UK relationship being that way around.

I'm trying to think which county you mean, but i'm guessing further North?

Hehehe ...... I'm just teasing you Mikester, each to their own!

My brother used to live and work in Malaysia and Philippines before he was taken seriously ill and was urgently repatriated back to UK, where he now lives in a nursing home. (I have a thread called 'Desperately Seeking Help for My Brother' in the Legal section of this forum). He has 4 Filipino sons, the youngest is here in UK with my brother's long term partner and my other 3 nephews are living with his ex wife in Philippines.

I live in Cambridgeshire and often drive past Bedford on my way shopping in Milton Keynes. My first visit to Philippines was in 1998/9 and I last visited in 2010. One of my most vivid memories of the Philippines is the noise in Manila and Makati .......... beep, beep, beep, beeeeeep ! the guys will know what I am talking about!

Ah that sounds complicated, I think I will go for a lie down once I have sorted that one out lol. Driving past Bedford is probably a good option, but if you ever take the plunge and brave stopping enroute, give me a shout.
