thanks for your responses, much appreciated, I'm coming for a vistit in April as Nobster is moving the beginning of next month, then I'll make my decision, all quite overwhleming at the moment, so many things to think about - really appreciate any advice - what is the situation about what you can wear - unfortunatly after 2 kids, hots pants and crop tops are not my usual attire!!! But I don't want to be completly covered up, also how do people cope with the 45 degree weather in the summer ,
