Hi Spannerman
Myself and Stu are also new members but agree the forum has been a great help.
We also are planning to move to Calis certainly by this time next year, so we would be interested to hear from you on any help or advice along the way. We have an apartment in Calis already so have gone through the buying mode which was quite straight forward, when we move over permanently we probably buy another house and keep the apartment for rental income, hopefully we can then live off that?,talking of which have you or anybody got any guidance to the approx amount we would need to live on each month (eating and drinking modestly), I have had a look on the search facility, but there are so many different views??
Good Luck
June
