Glad your enjoying it. I've got some decisions to make next year after I've retired. |

the sea does actually come in twice a day .yup,so far so good,i sold my place in the smoke and have plenty left over after buying this place,i even bought a new (to me) car and said goodbye to my old faithfull "brian". there are jobs down here tho the money is lower but so is the cost of living,all the big shops and services etc and a lot easier to get around.

My issue is that I've spent 30+ years getting this place just how I want it: Crazy paved garden with 3 small planters. Built in furniture to save space and dust crevices (bedrooms, kitchen, lounge). All decorated and carpeted. Once I take the car out of the powered garage it converts within seconds to a mini workshop. I have within walking distance: Tesco Doctor Dentist Post Office Fast food shops Frequently served bus stop Very hard decision. My In-Laws live in Malvern which is very nice but a nightmare to get about as they can't drive any more and nothing is 'local'. best of luck on the decision to move out and I hope it works

I have added a loft extension and kitchen extension and all rooms are well decorated. The garden is small but is just what we want and I am currently building a half brick/half timber shed/workshop (no, not a beds in sheds - although that could be profitable!!) Like you Kremmen, I have shops and public transport nearby (the tube & 24hr coach to London) and work in central London doing a job I simply would not be able to find in the sticks. We have friends in Dorset and it is very very tempting to join them- but I just dont think I could bear the work and money to make our home as it is now - plus I actually like London and what it offers, so wouldnt want to be that far from it |
