    Why are you making this video? are you in S Africa or UK? Reason I asked is I want to retire in South Africa. Mainly because I hate the politics and cost of living here. I heard about the crime in S. Africa. I'm an older single woman. Don't have a lot of money other than my pension. I've heard about the load shedding and how this can be the most dangerous time if you are not in a safe place. Can you please advise me as to where I should move?

    Edinburgh lot more better than London. Go to the lakes in Scotland. Drinking water is great in Scotland straight from the tap. Can't convert pounds to rands. Look at Cape Town small gardens even 3 million rand does not get you big garden in Cape Town. Many people standing at traffic lights with university degrees in South Africa.

    Thank you for a lovely video and as a South African recognized every thing you said. I came to the UK 19 years ago at the age of 54 with my British born husband. He had medical problems and we couldn't afford the fantastic private South African medical. My poor husband ended up totally bedridden for 10 years after a total failure of a hip replacement. Many Brits are going private and that is more expensive than the UK. But you really need money to go private in South Africa. My daughter and husband moved from Joburg to Kwazulu Natal, they had a business and thought they could manage to live debt free. My son inlaw 52 got luchimia and they didn't have the funds to go private. The racism in the hospital was mind boggling and they didn't want to put him in ICU. He passed away, because of neglect. After my husband passed away 84 with a "mini stroke", and all benefits stopped and I was left with no funds, I thought all I can do is go back to South Africa and I had always dreamed of it. But I never lived in any other place than Johannesburg. And I loved it. Kwazulu Natal was a shock to me. Harburg is a village and I really never knew you got such strange places in South Africa. While in SA, a Polish friend let me know that letters eventually arrived granting me housing benefits and tax benefits. My daughter was worried about me in South Africa in case I needed medical help and she said she could never take me to the hospital where her husband died. So I had to do something I never thought I would have to do and come back to the UK. It's a very lonely life and the only friends I have are German, Scottish and Polish. I have been going to a garden centre for 19 years, spend a lot of money and know every one, but nobody has ever mentioned going for coffee. Maybe it is because we are in Cambridge. So my daughter is moving back to Johannesburg and very pleased for her. If you are used to the city never go and live in the sticks. I think Scotland is different to England and people are friendly. Talking about Waitrose, I am forced to shop at Waitrose, there is no comparison to Woolworths in SA. There are always trolleys in the isles and it reminds me of a Pick and Pay we had where I lived in Joburg. South Africa is still my home and I am sad that at 73 I can not make it financially. I'm also very safe here and I get benefits and look after myself and hope I never need the NHS. I still miss the doctors I had in SA. Since Covert, the doctors phone you, or you can wait for weeks before you see a doctor for 10 minutes. If I was younger and could make a fresh start, I would be on that plane tomorrow. Your roots are very deep. Take care

The weather was horrible, and London seemed very overwhelming and crowded ! I did visit an uncle in Perth, Scotland. Again, the Scottish weather was very depressing. All in all, i felt i wasted a lot of money and wasted 14 days of my life!
