Hi bram,
I am new to this site so I don't know you, but I still wanted to say that I am so sorry for what you are going thru. The weather here has been bad as well and I hate going out in it. It's like as soon as the door opens it's automatic pain. We are actually looking to move somewhere that does not get this kind of nasty weather. That is one trigger that I actually can remove from my life.
What part of the uk do u love in? My sister is moving there next week for 3 years for her husbands job. I will be visiting at some point while they are there.
Again, I truly hope that you get some relief soon, I will be praying for you.
Kristin
