Because of that we no longer have freedom of movement in Europe; I can’t spend more than 90 days in 180 there, so I can’t stay long enough to get residency and I can’t afford to buy my way to residency. In addition I think (I haven’t bothered to investigate) our government freezes your pension if you move abroad. This is one of many reasons why I’d like to shove their heads up each other’s arse.

It's nice that you can afford to get out & go somewhere. I envy you. But I hope you will continue to go & photograph & share ... so that if I can't go myself, I can enjoy it vicariously.
