United Kingdom

Quaint, peculiar, funny: the United Kingdom… our "Wahlheimat".

We actually like it here: the weather (and the food) are not quite as bad as the natives (and the French) make you believe.

Basingstoke and Around

 

Basingstoke nicknamed Boringstoke, is often bad-mouthed: colleagues of Vero were horrified when we decided to settle there (where her employer was) after having moved from Germany. We did not know better, our main aim was to avoid long commutes (she cycled to work) and houses were affordable, compared to the villages around or the alternative of living in Winchester (much posher if you ask us!). We never regretted our choice and we like it here. The town is surrounded by beautiful countryside and we even have a Tudor mansion on our doorstep.
