As an interested outsider - I read my wife's mail! - Ifeel I should
point out that in choosing to live elsewhere you opt - in the case of
london and a fair bit of Europe too - to see the air before you breath
it , know that the water you drink was someone else's first and share
those secluded little places with 60 million other people , some every
bit as simian as any you will see on a beach in this neck of the woods
.The things we take for granted here the europeans will never experience
unless they are lucky enough to come here too.There is a life to be had
here - try fussing less about money and living it .
