  • TBH 5 years ago we weren't thinking about leaving London at all.
    3 years ago we were tired of the place (the noise, traffic, cost) and we made the move to Bath.
    And less than a year ago we realised that all the things we really were looking for - nice big house, decent garden, close to sea, close to nice countryside and places to visit and go camping - were all MUCH cheaper in Northern Ireland...
    I have a sneaking suspicion that 15 years from now we'll be in a 1 pub village on the west coast of ireland somewhere.
    But for now this is all good :)

  • That sounds wonderful.
    I've moved to a place without traffic or noise (yeah really) but still love the vibrancy London offers too much. I imagine there will come a day when I have had enough of it all and want an even quieter life (the amount of people who drop litter round here is still a trigger for me) and may end up converting some building (thinking chapel) in rural Norfolk.
    Love Bath, were visiting a fair bit, staying in an awesome B n B called the Dye house.

  • Bath was lovely, but too expensive to buy in and not close enough to the sea.
    That BnB looks lovely.
    My current plan is to get into a bit of sea swimming. There's a big local 'scene', particularly since covid/lockdown/WFH.
    There's a local meet about 200 yards from the house called the Chunky Dunkers. I'm just plucking up the courage to go down there this weekend for my first swim...
