H- long story really. Mrs L and I were actually looking to move to the Limoges region of France. She then had a heart attack and our French was not good enough to cover "defibrulator" etc - and we would have found health insurance prohibitive.
So we started to look around Britain and took a number of short breaks while contacting their local estate agents- Somerset, Devon, Dorset, Norfolk, Yorkshire etc. We were planning a jaunt to South Wales when I saw an advert "Be on a Show" - I applied not thinking anything would come of it but we got invited onto "Escape to the Country" and they took us to the Carmarthen area. We did not think they would find us what we wanted so I was ready to contact estate agents after the filming - but in fact they showed us a property we both fell in love with - and bought it

So if you ever happen to see that they are showing a couple from Watford moving to Carmarthen with NIcky Campbell hosting - it is us - show was first shown in April 2010 - and we had already lived here for 3 months !!
