Hi Jez - The AVF group suggested above is very nice and has been very welcoming but we (my husband and I) are about 20 years younger than the average for AVF... not perfect for making close attachments.

We just moved here 2 mo ago and I would be happy to talk to you about some of your other questions, but where you want to live depends on so many things!

About job hunting - I found my job (to enable me to join my husband) through a professional listserv that shares information about conferences, articles, etc and also sometimes job postings.

Hope to hear back, Siara
