Hi from sunny Derbyshire

Welcome along Andy, 

There are worse places to be than in Derbyshire, where about are you? I spent most of my working life around Derbs & sometimes miss it.

Hi Andy and welcome to the forum!

This site is a mine of information and we're lucky to have the "Legendary" Jim Taylor on it - it's rare for him to say, "I don't know" about anything 😀  In my opinion, it's the best forum available on the Costa Blanca and new blood is always welcome 😋

If it makes you feel a little better about wet (but beautiful) Derbyshire, take a look at Jim's recent post about AEMET's weather warning for the coming Sunday to Wednesday 😫😄

Kind regards, 

Kim

The more the merrier Andy, welcome to the forum.
As Kim says, if it happens in Spain, Jim Taylor has come up with a "Jim's Guide" for it. The starting point can be found almost at the bottom of the rhs of the page, especially if you might possibly be considering coming over permanently.
There are a number of other regulars who are always willing to help out and the only time I could ever describe the forum as cliquey is if someone gets nasty and we jump in in defence. The report button doesn't seem to be used very often but Jan or Alex react quickly when notified.
There will be banter (Villas, LeckyLes and UKHandyman4Hire spring to mind) and some replies can elicit a sharp intake of breath but nevertheless will answer the questions posed.
Jim has also helpfully provided a guide on how to search this forum for information previously given.

Hi Andy and Welcome in.

Best of luck on your forthcoming trip to Spain next month.

Post away whenever you are ready !

Hi Andy. From memories of the Peak District, Hathersage, and walking off the Bakewell Pudding, never dreary but many "intakes of breath", & to here!

Yes.....As above, welcome,  Mr F, put some "F" in Fun.

Villas

Thanks for the kind welcomes people. This place seems better than the others already.

High Peak btw Dazz

Hi Andy.
Welcome to the forum. I find it a great source of information and so useful when I first cane over here looking to purchase. The advice was invaluable and everyone was so helpful. I agree with everything said - friendly (most of the time), helpful, funny (thanks to Villas and the gang) and so well managed by Jan and Alex. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed! Have a great break when you come over - we have been enjoying the sun over the past ten days in Lomas de Campoamor away from the damp, drab, grey winter back home - though I have to say, if you have to be there, Derbyshire has to be one of the best places to endure winter. 

Best wishes, Jackie and Bex 

Lovely, I spent a lot of time working in New Mills.

Good morning from a bright, sunny though chilly East Kilbride. As many have said this is a great site with lots of helpful information.

My move to Spain took me to Quesada and I love it....looking forward to getting home early February and getting some golf played
