Celt Down Under Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 So does that mean you will live longer and more healthily now you are here? I am certainly more active in this country due to the climate than I was in the U.K., so for me, quite possibly, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
