A lot of our friends have either emmigrated, are emmigrating or are planning on emmigrating. One has gone to Canada, been there a while. Another family went to the USA. Another family ( 3 generations of them) is moving to France this summer (that can't be for a British way of life! ) and yet another thinking about France whilst two of her children are contemplating New Zealand. Wow! One went to Spain and came back but there's always an exception isn't there?

We had also given quite a bit of thought to upping sticks but decided against it for family reasons but our destination would have been Tunisia, and still might be when Busman retires if they'll have us.

I'm not sure how much of that is 'white flight' though or just simply a desire for something better than here with a better standard of living. We'd be looking for less rubbish in the front garden and better weather. One of my real grouches against Accy is the amount of rubbish in the streets and the amount which gets dropped and not picked up when the bins are emptied. Our newly elected councillor mentioned the rubbish so I live in hope of an improvement.
