I was feeling a little bit of a fraud going to have this conversation with Gerry today, because my house sale in the UK had fallen through about a year ago, resulting in most of my plans and my existing D7 visa paperwork i.e.police reports, etc etc etc were now consequently out of date, even the transport company who I had arranged to transport my ten dogs from Wales to Portugal had fallen foul of Brexit, and had gone out of business.
The housing market in the UK, not quite as dead as a door nail, but ….well you get the picture, and I was starting again at almost the very beginning…. apart from my NIF & Bank account still valid and still in place, however not really able to move ahead again with the move without new buyers and an offer on my house in Wales and so I was feeling a little despondent.
But I needn’t have been in the slightest bit concerned… Talking things over with Gerry put my mind at ease about many things…
We talked as if we had known each other for years, and today I certainly feel that I have made a new friend !!!
Gerry was kind, sympathetic and understanding of my situation and he went beyond the call of duty to listen to me, offering help, and suggesting other ways that we can overcome difficulties that may occur in the future when I eventually am once again able to make the move.
I am normally a great believer in thinking out of the box, but I had recently been derailed by events, not least by Brexit, and had slightly lost my way, if only just a little.
Thank you Gerry, in so many ways deciding to go ahead, breaking the ice and having my initial welcome chat with you, has done me the world of good and shown me that my dream move to Portugal is still not only an option but a reality !!!
So Upwards & Onwards ! Diolch yn fawr ! Obrigado ! Gerry :))
