    Come on down me dear. The South is strange. Be any where near that Londin and it`s scary prices but the cities on the coast, I`m thinking Kent, bits of Hants and Devon it`s not too bad.

    Strange thing is that we can be in London (well the outskirts anyway by car - 1 hour and 10 mins to London Liverpool street by train) in just over an hour.....yet we are classed as being just outside the commuter belt for house prices.

    Hence why a fair few live here and work near or in London....
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

    I got a large (400g) toblerone this morning. My son picked it up in the supermarket last week and asked me to buy it for him to give to me today.

    I like your part of the world Sue. Spent many a trip up there years ago. Have friends in North Walsham.

    Little story for you. Years ago Mrs. P and myself were staying with our friends. We popped in a pub in Horsey, about 12 miles from where they were in North Walsham. This was in the late 70`s. A local bloke started chatting to us. He asked where we were staying. We told him. His reply " Ah, I`ve been there, wouldbe about 3 years before the war ".
