TwatWest are pretty useless on all fronts, really.
I went on my Erasmus year, which is what I assume your Mrs is doing, and lived in Switzerland for five months, using alternately my Swiss bank card and my UK one. No comment.

I then moved to Italy and only after I'd been there for five months did they send me a letter saying "we have detected suspicious activity on your account" and asked me to call them". Sure enough I do and they ask why there have been so many transactions in Italy all of a sudden...

How is your good lady liking it?

She's loving it
but she has mixed feelings about coming back. She doesn't want to say goodbye to the new friends she met. On the plus side though, there'll be a 16 month old, hyperactive, german shepherd at home though (as well as a border collie and 2 cats.)

I can understand that - I came back from Lausanne nearly 3 years ago and I still miss it terribly.
Long distance does suck, though, so at least that'll be over, right?

And fluffeh! Do you have photos? You can't just allude to fluffeh - especially German Shepherds - and not show photos!
