I wish we got less now though!!!
Little village, 7 miles out of Skegness.

Beach 5 minutes walk away and countryside all around so best of both worlds. It's quiet (estate agents tend to call it the 'waiting for God' village), but we love it. Been here four and a half years, but planned the move here for about 10 years before that. It came a little earlier than we expected, but I'm so glad it did

We have spent the afternoon in the garden and haven't heard a car, or even had a walker go past. We had our tea out in the garden and all we could here were the lambs bleating and the birds singing.

The one thing I would like is a bit more land but I can't complain about what we have got.

ok, I want to change my mind and move somewhere like you have , that sounds like a little piece of heaven on earth

I'm rather odd, I want to move back to Northern Saskatchewan. yes winters are cold, but the people are very friendly, and the land is stunning... besides, my roots are there, and I feel at home... other than that, i'd move south and west, to the foothills of southern Alberta... it's absolutely gorgeous, and even though it's so close to the mountains, it's still prairie grassland, and just amazing. it's also a tad warmer than here, though the wind is a constant force.


You wouldn't see me on Vancouver Island, too many ignorant tourists, and too many people altogether, though it's gorgeous and the weather is very mild. My aunt and Uncle life there, and I've got to visit a few times, though it rained the entire time I was there on the first trip.

I think I would be off to Austrailia to live near lot of my family out there. If i had to stay in this country then I would like to live in a very rural area of Devon, Wales or Yorkshire.

for us it would have to be cumbria....not in the touristy bit. anywhere along the coast would be good. have stayed in a small village called Baggrow which has nothing but a pub but is not far from towns/larger villages with shops etc.....

I love the forests and green hills in Mid Wales, South Wales and North Wales just aren't the same.

If the houses weren't so ridiculously expensive I would love to stay in Shropshire though, as it a beautiful county.
I have never been to mid Wales - must try to at some point. In fact the only place in Wales I have really spent any time is North Wales (Snowdonia) and whilst it was lovely, Scottish countryside beats it every time for me.

Haha - the first person to say unequivocally that they want to live abroad Florida would just be waaaaaay too hot for me.
