Just wanted to say hi and more importantly a big thank you to the forum members from all the brilliant advice and information I have found here. This is Rosie, and we bought her at the start of May, after years of lurking in the 'Calis for Sale' waiting for that perfect Br***t moment to head to our UK neighbours and pick up a bargain. Anyway it turned out the right van showed up on our doorstep, and a lack of funds wasn't going to stop us. Timing was good as we have 2 Kerry Blue Terriers, and the older fella is insisting that we are no longer allowed to go on holidays without him.

We are lucky to live on the Wild Atlantic Way in Galway Ireland, and we have some special scenery whether we turn left or right depending on the mood. First big trip is coming next week, when we will head to the Italian lakes, via Wales, England, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, and Austria. Should be fun!

Welcome to Rosie and yourselves!
But enlighten me as to the significance of Brexit and visiting the UK?
I’m assuming they aren’t related?
I guess you thought there was more to chose from in the UK but I can’t understand anything else

Thank you. It's the advantageous exchange rates where the weakening of the pound was making a big difference for such a large purchase. Calis are also pretty rare over here.
 
Ah I see!
Something obviously hadn’t thought about being resident here and a bit slllooooowwwww
