North & Forth...

At 53 I sold almost everything I owned, packed what was left into six boxes, and left the UK with no real plan, no safety net, and definitely not enough money to retire.

Basically, I jumped out of the plane... now we're finding out if the parachute opens..

North & Forth...

Some of you have already wandered over to "All This Used To Be Fields", my other channel and discovered that, apparently, me being mildly annoyed by everyday life is now a series.

So here we are.

"Things I Can’t Be Arsed With – Part 4" goes live at 1300 local, 0700 BST, 1600 Sydney and 1800 Auckland.

This time I’m having a moan about, Christmas, mowing lawns, prices that aren’t actually the price, unspreadable spreadable butter and wind chimes.

Basically, five more perfectly normal things that I’ve somehow decided are unacceptable.

Head over and subscribe if you want to see it....

None of you are going to be surprised to hear this....

But we have f*ck up of the two weeks in Bali.

So there will be no content from Bali or for the next two weeks.

I got a normal tourist visa. After arriving I thought I better just check local filming laws.

It turns out you cannot create content on a tourist visa if you are monetized.

And you can't swap visa once you are in the country.

So my "wing it" hat went on. But they actively check and are monitoring social media and comparing visas. Twenty creators so far have been banned from entering Indonesia.

Given if I get banned in any country you have to declare it on entering other countries, it is simply not worth the risk.

So apologies you will not see Bali through my eyes. I'm going to treat it as a two week holiday and there is no such problem in the next country.

Oh and I have my hat on

See you in two weeks.

Love you, bye

I’ve started a new Facebook group ONLY for anyone thinking about, planning, or actually making the move from England to Scotland.

It’s called Moving to Scotland from England. Catchy huh?

Practical advice, property insight, area chat, costs, lifestyle, and real experiences from people on the same journey.
