Want to stay somewhere more off the beaten track than Bath but still be able to hit a few of the lovely surrounding towns nearby before heading north. Thoughts?

Researching how to ship a small antique (70 years old) stool from the US to Australia most safely when I move back. It is made of velvet and treated oak. It’s about 17 x 19 x 14 inches or 43 x 48 x 35 cm. I am trying to decide whether to ship it on its own via UPS or the like, include it in my small shipment of household items or put it in a box and pay for extra baggage on my flight. It is very sentimental to me, and I want it to arrive intact and clear customs successfully. Any tips/advice/experience you can share? Thanks in advance! And if this is the wrong subreddit, let me know.

Asking for my American husband who has both metric and imperial tools. He’s not sure whether bringing over the imperial makes sense when we move next year. Thoughts?

Edit: thanks everyone! Looks like he’ll be bringing a bit of both.

What do the Mr Whippy (do they still call them that?) vans play as they drive around? Here in the US, or at least Arizona, they play Waltzing Matilda of all things!

I saw a couple of people in this sub mention yesterday that they had moved from Arizona to Connecticut. Thinking about this move myself, I’d love to hear about your experiences. Everyone I mention this move to responds with: “it’s so cold there” and “it’s so expensive there,” and “but the taxes!” etc. You’ve done it and presumably survived it. What did you learn? What would you do differently? What is better? What is worse? Thank you in advance!

I thought the music fest was only on Mondays, but I have it happening again tonight. What’s the dealio? I’m not complaining at all. It’s awesome!

He doesn’t match my island’s aesthetic; his house doesn’t, either. Anyone love this octopus villager? How can I enjoy him until he wants to move out?

Does anyone have any info? I hope nothing was lost!!!
