In this Midweek Catchup, Kay and Karen dive into the realities of retiring abroad—dream or disaster? After last week’s chat about moving to the sun, they received a fantastic email from listener Brenda, who shares her rollercoaster experience of relocating to France, working with Eurocamp, and the unexpected legal nightmares that followed.

Kay also embraces the advice to seek "pockets of joy"—from impromptu trips to theatre outings and reconnecting with old friends. But could she really swap city life for a quaint countryside escape? And what happens when a campervan sale turns into a £20,000 legal battle?

Plus, a surprise message from listener Jason (aka "High Queens") about vegan tablet, Alan Cumming, and the joys of Scottish sweets.
