Yeah but these ones are more a permanent structure. If you look on the satellite map, you’ll see a lot of them.

This place has a golf course too - two pars are named after two people - Denis’ Menace and Sid’s Folly.

And foot golf, I can’t fathom how people can kick footballs like it’s golf. I got to see that.
 
I already had a job offer before I came here through my aunt - it was just to secure my visa and it’s only 4 months.

I will be working for Scalm Park Leisure - just not exactly sure what I will be doing but by the sound of it, bits and pieces there. My aunt has requested for the website to be updated and an updated brochure too. Then there’s office work and “dirty” work to be done, I’ll probably end up in the workshop with my cousin refurbishing stuff for park homes, caravans, and cottages as general cleaning.

I’m being moved to a park home hopefully by the end of this week or next week as a more permanent settlement and it’s cheaper as well.
Great news @RainstormZA , good luck, please send photos of your escapades out there, maybe a steampunk home is in the pipeline?
 
no burglar bars, motion sensors, razor wire and electric fences ?
Surprise. Nope, none of that. Except a smoke detector with fire alarm in every place. Everything is run on gas and water from a borehole.

Oh and I drove my dad's mini today to get a feel for it. Nice to know that I can use it if I need to go to the shops or to get to work.
 
but seriously, how you finding it there ?
On the packet over there. :D

Lol. Just kidding.

Aside all the rain, it’s not so bad. When people at the shops realize you’re deaf, they don’t act all scared and try to help you. It’s great. In this country, accessibility is a top priority for all disabled people.

Today I drove alone for the first time and my dad has a tracking app on the car, he said I did very well for a new uk driver and that it will get better with time. Finally I’m independent.

Heck I even used gps to get around, which was a lot easier than I expected. Now I must try to drive to Seaton Ross and visit my godparents.

People are much more friendlier here and always willing to help out.

It’s very different here, culture wise and the food too. Road laws are strict, health & safety is very strict as well. We have more roundabout circles than robots. After 6 weeks, I need to apply for my uk license.

A lot of bargain shops and 2nd hand shops in Selby.

Unlike SA, we don’t have domestic workers or people cleaning up after us in the public areas. Everything is clean, no litter anywhere.

Vaped up a storm before I left as it was raining and everything had to go into my back pack.
