Hello Alan and Tommy,



We're going to Malta 12th to 18th December now. So unfortunately we'll
probably miss you. Wouldn't worry about age, I'm 59 and Annette's 54 and
the estate agent told me that Annette (accounts clerk) would have no worries
finding work, and I'll be taking my company with me. Stay in touch though,
we're going to be there an awful lot.



Cheers

D & A

Subject: [British Expats in Malta] VISITING AGAIN SOON!



Hello again from Devon,England!

We were in touch with this group a few months ago regards our hopes
to relocate to Malta or Gozo next year. We visited last March.

Since then we have sent our C.V's to numerous places such as Nursing
Homes,Hospices,etc but with no responce.Recently we have found out
that Malta has strict quotas regards giving work permits to British
Citizens. Even just for Part-Time work which is all we want! This
surprised us because Maltese Citizens can come to the U.K. and work
without restrictions. We naturally assumed that this was a reciprical
arrangement! Despite this setback,we have not given up hope. The law
may be relaxed. Also we were told that it also depends "on who you
know" whether or not you are allowed to move to Malta or Gozo! So
far,we don't know the right people!!

But we are returning for one week in mid November,so we might, by a
chance encounter, meet the right contacts!!!???

Ofcourse we realise that our age is very much against us.(54 and 64)
But there are now new laws just come into operation in all EEC
countries which bans refusal of work based on a persons age.

The perfect scenario for us would be some employment combined with
self-contained accommodation. For example,an appartment in a Warden-
controlled Complex,keeping an eye on elderly residents. Or a private
individual who needs daily assisatnce in their own home. As you
know, Tommy is qualified in this field. I also am experienced at
Caretaking,providing companionship for elderly and disabled
individuals in a loving and compassionate way. So this type of
situation would be ideal for both of us working as a team. We both
try to be very warm,gentle and kind-hearted toward others. We
believe in the Christian principal to "do to others as you would
wish them to do to you".

The other option would be Caretakers of a Villa or Appartments.

Anyway,if by chance anf group members have heard of something that
would suit us since we were last in touch,or have any other
suggestions, please kindly let us know.

Maybe we could investigate the possibility when we are over for a few
days in mid-November.

Thanks once again!

Warmest Wishes ~ Alan & Tommy
