Hello

[Jane]

Hi Jane,

We are definitely wanting to make our move  a permanent one .....however ....we will be back and forth for the first few years while we set up basic services and living quarters!probably a caravan or two!
Where are you based in the uk?

Sounds a bit like our situation. We live on the Wirral, so it's a heck of a drive there and back, but worth it when we get there. We're going to be holidaying and doing the place up as we go. Lot of hard work ahead and it's how much you can fit in to two weeks break at a time, isn't it? Hoping to make the move permanently within maybe 4 or 5 years max. 
We've already made some contacts in the area and it's just a case of getting good recommendations for roofers etc. By good I also mean cheap
