Which would you choose?

I have lived abroad but if I were to leave again ( I’m not 😄) it would be Spain or Slovenia.

I loved Barbados too Barbadosbelle but I also loved Costa Rica. Come to that, I thought Canada looked wonderful too. I'm afraid I'd be spoiled for choice.

I would like to live in Spain.

It would have to be somewhere warm, so I would say Australia.

Barbados for me please!

Lovely people, lovely weather, great restaurants, good schools (literacy rate higher than the U.K. or the U.S.A), modern shops offering the best of furnishings,fixtures and fittings.

If I was younger and could WFH, I'd apply for the one-year Barbados Welcome Stamp and see what I thought at the end of the year. You have to have an annual income of at least $50,000 U.S. paid by an employer outside of Barbados. I know a few couples who have done it plus one young family. They all loved it and stayed on.

Now you've set me dreaming!!

I absolutely loved living in Turkey.

Greece. I haven’t been learning Greek for four years for nothing….

I would go back to The Netherlands.

Scotland. I lived there from about age 12/13, went to university in Edinburgh and later lived and worked in that beautiful city. Even with the weather Scotland holds a very special place in my heart.

Japan. We probably wouldn’t be admitted though, so Canada.

Having been to Canada, Australia and New Zealand.... I would pick Italy.

Definitely Italy for me, a beautiful country. Lovely friendly people too.

Not a country as such, but Guernsey. Long ago we had family there, ironmasters . We have visited and liked it a lot.

Switzerland, but only if I'd won the lottery because (a) they accept only the very rich as immigrants (b) it's super-expensive to live there anyway.
But it is rather heavenly and you can get to all parts of wonderful Europe so easily.

Definitely New Zealand. Beautiful country.

I would love to live in the highlands of Scotland but the weather is not great. So would have to be Andalusia in Spain.

You may think I’m mad. I love to travel but will never live anywhere outside the UK especially England. It’s the country my grandfather and father fought for and has my loyalty.

I'm half Italian, so no surprise that I'd choose Italy! I do sometimes feel more at home there than here in England - I'm small, olive skinned, with brown eyes and hair (well it was brown, now dyed much lighter to disguise the grey 🙄) and I can be quite animated, so I fit right in! I think I could be quite happy in Spain too, but I don't have a good command of the language, whereas I do speak some Italian, (but sadly am not fluent, but get by fine).

The Netherlands please for me. I just love the open air way of life and the practical nature of the country. We have family there too.

If not there then what used to be East Germany. Much more space than the old West Germany, and a great cuisine based on fresh, local foods. We visit whenever we can.

I wouldn’t want to live abroad again but if I had to choose it would definitely be somewhere in Europe, probably Italy.

Italy would be good - I am one quarter Italian, and share Kate's affection for Seville.

Italy. They really live, I love the weather, the art and history, the food, the lifestyle, the chaos, and the people.

Yes , me too. if I had to be nearer than that it would probably be Ireland.

Canada, but on Vancouver Island which is not cold at all and very beautiful.

France, Normandy in particular. We had a holiday home there for over 30 years. Our son goes to Normandy and Brittany regulalry where he does research and has contacts in Caen university He also speaks French well and out 18 yearold DGD is totally enamoured of the country. Although, obviously, she prefers Paris, but since we sold the house she has missed her annual visit to Christian Dior Museum.

Normandy is an area we know well, we know and understand the culture and the language. It has wonderful beaches and awonderful local cuisine. Of course, it is also so easy to come back to the UK to visit friends and family.

Having spent time in Australia, as much as I adore Victoria and particularly the Melbourne suburbs, I had a feeling of being so far away.

It would have to be Spain for me, close enough to the beach, but not too close to the tourist trails
