I think the groups now exist [at least - when I go to the 'make a new post' section, there they are, in the "Audience" section] Â Hope someone uses them soon - after all the time its taken

Anyone used the Harwich to Hook of Holland ferry service? I'm hoping to drive down to the holiday home later this year, and was thinking of using the service.

By chance I went on the old Forum yesterday - found that someone had PM'ed me from that forum only a few days ago.  I hadn't got any notification of a PM, but obviously the old Forum PM system still works  It might be worth doing the odd visit

I can't beleive that its 17+ hours since the last post - or has my PC taken over and hidden everything?

There is an interesting article in today's G2 section of the Guardian newspaper by a woman who moved to Italy, founded a successful business, and has now moved back to the UK [but still has the business] because she missed LondonÂ

Seat61 is a great website for train travel in europe.Also - the German Railway route p=Planner is very very useful for seeing details of any journey you wish to make      https://www.bahn.com/en/view/index.shtml[In my opinion, its the best there is]Good luck AlanÂ
There should be no reason why you don't move in - I've seen many houses where external works are being carried out with people still using the house.
You could ask your geometra for his advice, in case there are any legal reasons
One way of getting a good price is to use one of the websites that put prospective customers in touch with 'removers' who have an empty van going back to the UKGoogle should assist - such as;-https://www.google.co.uk/search?ei=8CaSXNuFG6TDxgPbmq2wCw&q=return+loads++italy+to+uk&oq=return+loads++italy+to+uk&gs_l=psy-ab.12...41723.45348..48894...0.0..0.725.5946.3-3j8j1j1......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71j0i8i7i30.vZ9K_0GgTnoÂ
Would be useful for others if you would say which car hire company you used
The only successful challenges to hire companies taking charges on your card, that I am aware of, have been done by people who have involved the 'Personal Finance Experts ' of the newspapers.
I'm aware that both the Saturday Guardian and Sunday Observer readers have had success this way - the involvement of the newspaper and the risk of significant bad publicity has energised some car hire companied to review theiractions, find an 'inadvertent error' on their part and a refund happens
Good Luck
"Will Leroy Merlin carry such a thing? "  My French isn't that good - but these seem to show boilers. However, I'd suggest ypou buy one locally - your plumber will advise https://www.leroymerlin.fr/v3/p/produits/chauffage-plomberie/radiateur-seche-serviettes-chaudiere-regulation-et-climatiseur/chaudiere/chaudiere-gaz-l1308217086
Get a gas combi boiler fitted - size depends on number of rooms to heat. It will do central heating and hot water for sinks, showers etc. Very easy to use
Cost - depends on size - get a couple of quotes from local heating engineers/plumbers.
If you are going to bring large amounts of cash into the country, I would make 2 suggestions;-
[That's how i did it]
My other suggestion is, if you have a little time to spare, is o go via Luxembourg. It costs about an hour [max] in travel, but is toll free, and you can also fill up in Luxembourg at the services with very cheap fuel
You shouldn't have any real problems if you stick to autoroutes/main roads.  I see you go via Colmar, I'd get there on the main route [autoroute via Strasbourg] rather than 'over the top' [Nancy to Colmar.Otherwise, no probs Â
If you 'Google' something like "Part load Sardinia to Cambridge" or "Part Load Italy to UK" you'll get info on a couple of websites that the Haulage trade use to fill empty vans on return trips, and also little one off trip companies Good luck
