No, not my zed! I’ve just put smartbear towers on the market & wondered if anyone’s looking for a bungalow?
Looking to move to the West Country as I won’t be having to commute into London after April 6th :)

I moved house in 2002 - never again!
I was 16yrs younger, much fitter and much more mobile in those days and I’m sure I couldn’t cope with all the “stuff” collected over those year. Make sure the house you move to is suitable for the long haul.

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

I'm not sure where you are looking to move to here in the West, but you can easily double the size of Smartbear Towers with a workshop for the same money ... Smartbear, smart-move, GLWTS :thumbsup:

Not to sure at the mo, we like Somerset & the exmoor/Wells/somerton areas but are pretty flexible, Ann has some relatives near crewkerne as well
Upgrading my garage sounds quite appealing, Ann can worry about the house details :lol:

Hi Rob

Wish you well in your move mate - shouldn't take long to sell Smartbear Towers - lovely bungalow :D We've been at Oakidoki ( name of our house ) for 31 years - just the thought of moving tires me out !! My wife and I were born down here on the IOW but my job meant we had to move a few times before we got back to the Island in 1986 - good choice the West Country - in 1978 we lived in a village 4 miles from Glastonbury - really lovely part of the country :D
