Re: Where would you rather be?
OK Derrygal - where in Cornwall? I am actually looking at living in Cornwall myself - in this life, not the 'wish I could' life.

Re: Where would you rather be?
At this moment in our lives Right where we are now....Derbyshire (after being wondering nomads for a few years we find we feel the most settled we have in years)...any of the villages in the County would be fine...maybe nearer to Bakewell...the orignal tarts (food wise..lol) are devine.....and there is plenty to see and do......so I would say....Derbyshire, U.K......and maybe....just maybe have a holiday home somewhere in Crete or Cyprus....not to far from the U.K...and also with a bit of culture....
The Peak District is definitely somewhere that interests me - I just worry about the amount of rain!

Depending on what you are looking for - I had friends that lived in Carbis Bay outside of St. Ives. It was a lovely place - could walk along the cliffs to get from there to St. Ives. Just thought I would mention it..

A little house looking out over the Detroit River on Grosse Ile MI where we lived for 2.5 years. It might have been an old house, with a basement that flooded every few months (rain & tree roots don't mix!), but the neighbours were great, and I spent the happiest days of my life there.

I noticed on your public profile that you are going back to the UK on Sept
23rd. Are you moving back permanently then?

if go to cornwall don't bleedin' go to Land's End. What a farce that is! I can't believe how commercialized it is and I live in the US! Think they ruined it..

Just realized all my exclamation points on my last statement. But if anyone does go they will understand why..

I'd have a place in Jersey in the channel Islands and a place in Bali. Spending six months in each place.

Re: Where would you rather be?
Well the rains not been so bad....and we would not have the lovely countryside otherwise....the rain does no bother us really as it never stopped us doing things when we first lived here, it aso never stopped us in Perth...and we did get a lot of rain there in the Winter as well.....I suppose it's what you want out of life...after a while you realise you cannot have it all (I wish..lol) you just have take the good things and roll with them....and thank you...yes we are all happy here....I know it's still early days but life is very good to us right now...and that's all you can ask for...

Re: Where would you rather be?
I would have a house in Canada and the UK and spend 6 months in each place, as I know that we would miss either if we moved back to one of them permanently.

Of course it's commercialised, just like every area or building that people can make money from, is.
If there wasn't anywhere to eat or buy things, people would complain.
