relocation from Malta

Hi there,
This is my first entry so not exactly sue how to proceed, so here goes!

My wife and I moved from the UK to Gozo,Malta, approximately 2 years ago. At first things appeared OK, but after a while it became obvious that integration would be difficult even with local language skills. Admittedly, we made the mistake of living on the waterfront, which creates some frustration during the summer months, but more importantly excludes our day to day exposure to a constant community as such.

Without wishing to appear deflamatoury, it has been very difficult to establish relationships. Even our 10 year old son, who is very popular at school, has struggled to integrate outside school due to the local attitude, of insular living.

We would wish to find a simple life without too many pre-conceived conditions, by attempting to have everything we had in the UK, accompanied by wonderful weather.

We have lived abroad for two years now and have some experience of the sacrifices one has to make. However, the combination of an apparent lack of passion, social integration and dissapointing winters, have lead us to search out a new start in the Canary Islands and would ask if anyone could offer any kind assistance ?

We have only visited Tenerife and Fuerteventura previously, and therefore have no experience of the other Islands. I would suspect that Gran Canaria & Lanzarote, along with Tenerife, may be the more appropriate to offer a few more options for my son as he matures.

Once again, thank you for any anticipated co-operation !
