Hi Ed, I hope everything goes smoothly for you mate.
Our daughter has moved up near to Huddersfield, her boyfriends family are from there.
She loves it and they're able to buy a larger property.
Good luck with the move :thumbsup:

As said, exciting times and hope it goes well. We did a similar thing 12 years ago; home counties to Lincolnshire. Never regretted it and wouldn't move back. Our standard of living has improved massively too just by difference in cost of living :thumbsup:
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.

Don't know about that Ron, just reading that it's snowing up North, while we are basking in sunshine :wink:
