Guest guest Report post Posted August 13, 2005 I think it's under 500 miles to Edinburgh then another 100 maybe to the top of the highlands. I think the motorways finish at Edinburgh and then it's small roads the rest of the way, and even on our motorways we have lots of hold ups - like going round London, and coming into Edinburgh (one of my young friends at work, and his brother, are there this week and next doing a stand up spot in the festival. It's their first time so I hope it goes well). Do you have speed limits in America? Ours is 70 mph on the motorways, but when they have roadworks they put the speeds down to 50 or sometimes 40.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 13, 2005 I'm afraid so. She managed to stay here 11 years - we knew her for about eight of those. A lovely, charismatic person. When she was here legally she was a sort of housemaid for Lady Aster. Then she moved to Wales and then to Drumnadrochit, and worked on an organic farm - living in a caravan. She loved it. The last few years we met up with her when we went to the Highlands for our holiday, and she came to visit just before her last appeal.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 13, 2005 For Canada it is simple: Get a sponsor, have a relative or buy a farm. Lynda, who has been looking into it and qualifies under two of them.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 13, 2005 Oh, you mean they aren't suggestions? Dang! Now that is as upsetting as finding out that the posted speed limits in Mexico (we used to live ther) were not in MPH. Sheesh, 90 sounded good to me!

Guest guest Report post Posted August 13, 2005 We like the autobahns. Nice big roads, not too much traffic - lovely. I guess the trouble with southern England is that it is a bit overcrowded and there are traffic jams all the time so you can't get up to the allowed speeds all the time.
