Hi Patrick. We are now living in Gloucester near our children. Very happy here but missing SA somewhat. Especially the beautiful beaches and braais.
Portugal was great but 5 years was enough for us.

Portugal has a new visa for non EU nationals to relocate permanently aimed at passive income earners or pensioners.
If you earn at least R11 600.00 pm as a single person and increasing to R16 800.00 for a married couple. (today's FX rate)

Can't play with you guys. "This site can’t be reached" for weeks. No access to either competition.

At 1c and a PE ratio of 25 I'm afraid it is a looser. Much like my CIL that went into Business Rescue and is now suspended. I took a punt in it for R40k. Sniff sniff.

I have also looked at buying a narrowboat but missus not biting. Looks like a cool lifestyle according to the youtube videos I'v been watching.
I am keeping all my money in SA as I think we will see a good recovery on the developing markets. Good luck with your new investments. My portfolio has more than halved but then we have been living off it for about 8 years now so I can't complain.
Houses are so expensive here with the average 2 bed going for £212 000.00. Wales is much cheaper than England though. My daughter was lucky as the property she bought was on sale for £229k and the Carona virus dropped it to £200k.

Long time no post.
We are still here in Tetbury Gloucestershire but on the verge of relocating to Gloucester.
Much has happened since our arrival that I will post on later.
Portugal is now a distant memory and on hindsite we should have just holidayed there. Cost of living was great but the lack of human interaction due to language was a slow torture.
My pension savings has all but gone after this pandemic. Lost about 60% so far with exchange rates.
My daughter is buying a house in Gloucester and it has 5 bedrooms. They have no children so me and wife will live on the ground floor that has 1 bedroom, lounge WC and utility room with kitchenette.
I will do garden and house maintenance and my wife will do cleaning and washing.
We will only pay for utilities, wifi and council tax that is about £220.00 pm.
Our son in law is a chef and he insists on doing all the cooking at home and he is a phenomenal cook.😁
Till later.
