Hi Tilley Bear from a fellow Brit. Tea’s good - but hope you’ve packed the scons, Jam, clotted cream, marmite, and gravy. They are either hard to get (impossible) or damn expensive. Gravy is 400% more expensive than UK so make sure you pack it when you fly 😂😂😂
We bought back in 2019, but covid happened so we had to wait till end of last year to see our place slightly south of you. PM me if you have any questions - especially around being a Brit in the US.

If you run - there’s a couple of us in the area that originate from Blighty. Welcome to TV. We love it - best decision we made, and with FX finally heading back to realistic its getting better all the time.

NB. Airfares are a big thing when flying out. An advantage of owning is Basic Economy. Book the cheapest flight it’ll safe you around £100. Don’t waste money on standard economy as you can still take a small underseat bag and case fir overhead with BA. Norse charge. United tell you that you need standard economy (£100 extra), but the small print states you can still take a bag with basic in transatlantic flights and therefore internals as well.

This is good for taking over a suitecase of tea, gravy and pasta ! Yep spagetti is a lot more expensive in US than UK 😂😂😂
