Wow.... I'd be 140 years old before I could afford to leave on those terms....!

We're aiming at Ł1k a month, and from our budget calcs reckon that we can live a pretty darned fine lifestyle on that amount.... perhaps less so in the med, but like kings in other places.....

For me personally, one of the things I am looking forward to is getting away from 'needing' the latest gadgets... and another is finding fresh local produce and eating both cheaply and handsomely.... (I do love to cook!)
