Just me wanting to go to Italy then? So many places I'd like to be, we'd have to take a camper van and wander from Sicily to the Alps and back again.

I may be confusing emigrating with extended holiday though, 'cos I'm not giving up Somerset for anywhere else. Florence may be wonderful, but so are Glastonbury and Wells

We are going for the part time emigration status of (hopefully increasingly)extended stays in Italy, Spain, Hungary.

Its a mainly rain based plan as I occasionally have a yearning to be dry, and we like the priority of life over work in the places we go.

I love England and can never see us moving full time but if I had to go anywhere it would be to Northern Spain. It is beautiful and has mountains and lakes as well as beaches and surf. Its like Wales but with better weather.

Seconded.....

Tomatoes, bulls, tomatoes, bulls.

No contest really, unless the tomatoes are in tins.

San Fermin is amazing, the most sustained adrenaline buzz on the planet!

tomatoes are just not going to give you that kind of euphoric terror!

I'll let you know Ian, Carrie will insist I get some hefty life insurance first then she will be fine with the idea

Adrenaline buzz! I can get that by telling EV I'll be home in a little while and still be here at work two hours later on Downsizer.

There seems to be a distinct lack of cold countries in this discussion. No-one fancying Finland? A.

It isn't the cold that's the problem. It is the dark winters in the cold places. I have a lovely Finnish friend who cheerfully will tell you in great detail how there is nothing to do but sit and drink for so many months because it is so dark and snowing outside constantly. I find it scary when she teams up with her Finnish friends to socialise. It's like what AA would be like if all the members fell off the wagon simultaneously during a meeting and went on a pub crawl instead.

We go of in our campervan every year, see some lovely places, say if only, and then are glad to be home in Somerset

Norway, NZ, Canada - somewhere with cold winters, warmish summers, and some room to stretch my eyes out a bit
