Canadian Expatriates in UK, Europe

I am thinking of becoming one, perhaps part-time.
There is a pretty good site http://www.canuckabroad.com/forums/index.php
that is promising. Anyone have any other sites?

Is there anyone living near London or where over
there? I am weighing options now and would
really like some tips and advice. The above
website could really benefit from your input as
well.
Thanks!

My in-laws who are now in their 80's have flitted back and forth across the Atlantic between Canada and the UK for most of their adult lives. I have a UK passport, and my wife is applying for hers (she's Canadian) and we have thought about part-time residence in Europe.
Things are pricey over there now that the dollar has been falling. London is a wonderful city, but I think I might look for something further south in Europe where the weather is a little more pleasant.
My tenative plan is to own a small RV in Europe when we retire so that we can spend months at a time travelling around. Most European cities have great campsites either within the city limits or close enough for a quick bus or train ride into the city center.
