Potential Block on Moving
So we went to Scotland last week for a proper look around with a view to moving next year. Now, my sister lives in Scotland so I've been to visit multiple times but never with a view to living there.
We drove around looking at areas I'd seen online, and past some houses for sale etc. But of all the things that people warn you about (the rain, the wind, the long dark winters), I've never seen oilseed rape mentioned.
When we came in to land, the yellow patchwork fields were breathtaking. However, after two days my breath was taken away in a way I hadn't imagined. We were taking anti-histamines every day, and by the time we left after 7 days, I was sure I was coming down with a terrible cold. By the time we were half way home from Alicante airport, all symptoms had cleared up.
I'm fairly gutted as I never factored in the possibility that I'd be allergic to Scotland! I've not seen anyone else discuss this so I thought I'd drop it in here as food for thought for anyone else thinking of moving to Scotland.
Oh, and hello to the saddo who spends every single day here making sure every single post is downvoted...
