Glad you gave up the tobacco!

Not quite, have given up looking for my brand but smoke someone elses. Have been telling myself to quit for about 50yrs but i am enjoying my life so much it's just blown that into the water!!

Oops, misunderstood you!

I hope that one day when I am 70+ I am also just like you... free and easy and just enjoying life.

We never know what life has in store for us but i can say it has been one hell of an adventure especially as i had never been to SA in my life.

We organised the shipping directly with Safmarine. They dropped a container off at our in Sussex and gave us 3 days to load it. I put my mercedes and dozens of boxes in it and they came to collect. Total cost £1500.00 delivered to Somerset West.
We organised our own permits with Home affairs at Paarl. It was good fun and very cheap. It demonstrated how much profit these companies like inter gate make. We got our residence within 5 months and enjoyed the whole experience.
Miss out the middleman when you can here, it's much easier than you imagine.
Been here 4 years, built some houses and we love the life here.

Who was your clearing agent in South Africa?
We had a bit of bother with our car, our stuff was shipped to Port Elizabeth, would have been better if we selected Cape Town, but did not think of it at the time.

Elliots delivered all the other stuff to our doorstep.
