Hi Babs, Sorry to hear that you are going stir crazy, Im still in the Uk so not much help I'm afraid. I would however be really interested in your thoughts of Tapping, schools ( I have a 7 yr old daughter) shops, things to do. Its one of the areas we have just started to look at. Many people have said about the problems of getting a long term rental, did you find this a problem at all. Any info would be really helpful. Thanks & Good luck to you all
