Yeah cheers. 15 years in East Dulwich. It served us well and grateful for our time in SE22. But....big world out there to explore and experience. A world beyond William Rose, the latest burger bar and strange bottles of yellow liquid. :-)


We did the research, kept running the maths and it became "why wouldn't we do this?"


Brexit is about to remove the amazing opportunity we have to freely move to and work in Europe. But for 15 euros I'm now a resident of Portugal, our kids will start an amazing British school here and we're 10 mins walk from the beach. Food is 20% cheaper. Holidays will be a few hours down to the Algarve, or a short drive to Spain. Plus same time zone as UK for remote working.


I'm sure I'll miss the pub, bacon and BBC iPlayer but whatever happens it feels like we'll have an adventure to remember.

    • I agree re rents, but I don't think you can compare Croydon and Bromley with East Dulwich. Different kettles of fish. They both had, or possibly still have, big what used to be called "shopping centres" rather than just high streets. I think the one in Croydon is being "regenerated" or whatever the word is, isn't it? Also shopping habits are changing. Where once you would go to a physical  shop to buy things, now many things are bought online, where apart from the convenience there is more choice, and you can easily compare prices and see reviews. Re Lidl in Dulwich, I knew a very well off person with a house on the Thames in London plus various other places including a flat in Venice (!), who shopped in Lidl because she said their parmesan was excellent 😀 My grandmother used to be very sniffy about M&S (in the days before it became known by its initials) 😀 I think it would be great to have a Lidl nearer than Camberwell or Peckham, but I can't see it happening, sadly. I'd also like to see a Waitrose, preferably replacing Sainsbury's, but that isn't going to happen either, also sadly.
    • An Aldi or Lidl at the Harvester site would be useful. But, there’s a Lidl close by in Peckham.
    • Vispring, I'm not a poet so I don't have enough vocabulary to gush about it, best money I ever spent. Open your wallet, they say you spend a third of your life rafting on it (probably more these days with Netflix).
    • Ah wonderful, I'll pop in and see him One more day and then the fundraiser will close. Just £70 needed to get to £1,500. Thank you all for your generosity and support. Private messages have been lovely.
