If I printed out this thread and gave it to my wife to read she would want to sell up now and move to Portugal or Spain. In fact the only thing keeping us here are the kids (12 & 10!!).

I set up my cutter outside a house when the sun is shining. The adhesive is there on a tarpaulin and there are tools spread around. I climb two flights of stairs to the bathroom in the loft and then I hear the rain. By the time I reach the garden it is pelting down. I move everything inside and the rain stops 5 minutes later. Repeat this process 3 or 4 times a day x 5 or 6 days a week.

The same applies to hanging out washing, and cleaning the car, and going to the shops. All seasons in one day!

I won't go on about all the other things wrong with the UK, but I would love to have a small house here and a medium villa in Portugal or Spain. One day!

Where I live we can have rain, hail, snow and sun, never mind in one day, that's just crossing the road!!
