From time visiting our NL family I've found that I can decipher some written Dutch, and understand basic station announcements etc. But any attempt to pronounce anything in Dutch produces universal mirth. Its a completely different sound-set.... or as a NL native Dutch teacher said 'it's not a language, it's a throat infection'!

Gosh. This old post resurrected. Got rather distracted by another grandchild, some different work and a possible self build.... Meanwhile we've been trying to get the old place together for sale. Did have a buyer last summer, but the chain broke. Housing market has gone a bit quiet since, I wonder why Blue Sky are you serious? Fancy a swap? Dee

Yeah, I could do Devon for a year. But be warned, it's bloody cold here in Limousin in winter. Minus 8 forecast for next week. You need some wood in!

Hmm. Very tempting. But we're now more looking to sell/buy rather than just a short term exchange. So a permanent deal. Swap and cash balance so to speak.....

I'm still listening ... what do you value you property at? How many rooms etc. Oh and where is it?

I'd have that in a heartbeat. But it's outside my price range I'm afraid. Most we'll get for this place is 100,000 euros and I can only drive one bus at a time sadly
