Dianne, talking about dust... when we lived in the country in an ex farm cottage on the edge of a field, I thought the dust was bad, especially at harvest time. Then we lived in Warwick in a house that gave straight on to the street, on a narrow busy main road with tall houses on either side. The dust was worse... and black with exhaust fumes.

Now we are on a nice quiet private road in Morecambe just off the prom but we get sand blown off the beach and dust from our unmade road. Plus building dust from our ongoing renovations... Can't win, but try and develop dust blindness as I have. Quentin Crisp said you don't notice it after four years... we've been here five years on Monday.

I agree - I lived on Dill Hall next to a bus stop - got diesel exhaust too.
Country locations can be hazardous - think of the herbicide spraying on crops.
Moorlands only have sheep - I like sheep more than people. They don't give out aggro

So you'd swap Less for a sheep any time?

I think sheep are more cuddly - (even those with ticks).

You speak from experience?
Of both??

A nice bungalow built into the Undercliff on the Isle of Wight. Veranda and garden looking over the trees to the English Channel below you.
But every Ideal Home has snags, you either see them before you move in(we did) or after.I still think about it though.

The only place I have ever really thought I would like to live away from here is a place my Daughter moved to about 10 years ago and lived for a few years, she had this apartment overlooking the sea in Macau, it looked tremendous from the video she made to let us see her home, a balcony overlooking a gorgeous blue sea, idyllic

Oh didn't know you were going to be a neighbor.

I love my home, my life and the area I live in. But if I had the money I would love to have an apartment above the Liston building in Corfu Town where I could stay whenever I wanted, but still keep my home here. Corfu Town really is my favourite place in the whole world and I'm really looking forward to returning there this year.

Where I always planned to live, spending my dotage painting, was in a little white washed, one up, one down, cottage on a spit of land, just of the coast in Brittany.

That would have been ideal, at one time.
