Thanks for that. The reasons for me coming back to you are the following:
1. The dream of 6 months at a time (from our experience anyway) is fraught with difficulties because we can only get car insurance for being out of the country for 90 days at a time, so that obviously restricts us to half that. House insurance is a similar problem.
2. Apparently your NHS (unless you are of official retirement age) is only valid for 3 months, and although many people are getting by with a wing and prayer, it can only be a matter of time now before scanning passports and the likes of the NHS are linked to 1 huge computer!
3. Driving to Bristol Airport - may be able to help you there - ignore the motorway signs for the Airport and, maybe with the aid of a GPS, circumvent Bristol - this is roughly (with the aid of Google Maps) how we go:
Leave M5 at Junction 21:take A370 to Congressbury / Yatton:
After 7.4 miles, turn right onto Brockley Combe Rd.. Follow for 1.4 miles, then continue Downside Rd. for further 1.5 miles. These are country roads - narrow but with littlie traffic. In the snow which we did it in, not the best!
Turn right onto A38 [South] and at next roundabout take 3rd exit for Airport.
This route may take longer but it avoids potential traffic congestion around Bristol.
Hope this helps - good luck with your Spain planning and if I can help PM me.
Regards
