Only if you are intending staying sober when you are en residence...
I was in Leuven (Belgium) at the weekend. .....
Wish I knew you were going - would have asked you to get some baccy!!
I'm sure we can find a reasonably sober period on MB to have a chat re buying in France. I have done a lot of research, and you're welcome to pick my brains. We were all set to go house-hunting early July, but the day before we sailed, I slipped a disc in my back, and we decided to put it off for a year. Regarding retirement, I've got the big six-oh next year and want to retire, but can't afford to in the UK, hence the move to France. I just love the laid-back way of life in France - discounting, of course, a particular w/e in June in La Sarthe!!
