>> The cities or regions you might be interested in. I'm guessing either thru PM's right on TA or by getting suggestions from locals and DEs there you can find blogs and websites about relocation (don't use the 'relocation' word on TA it needs to be phrased like a travel question not a permanent move to not be deleted there).<<

There are MANY British Fodorites, and several others of us have lived there. If one asks about a specific town or county lots of us will be able to help . . . without having to disguise the question.

I am not contemplating a permanent move at least not now. I think a move for 3 to 6 months if I could do so would be manageable because my two daughters and their families are settled here in the US. I don't want to be too far away on a permanent basis.

So I may do something like a 3 months visit at first. One idea is to have the grandkids come over for their summer break for 6 weeks or so.

I have a book (mentioned above) on order and I think that will be very helpful to start.

I continue to enjoy reading all suggestions!
