Can I just point out how jealous I am of those who live in Cornwall...my ultimate dream would be to live in a fishermans cottage, by the harbour in Padstow or St Ives...until I win the lottery I'll have to make do with a weeks holiday once year. Lindsay, in reality not sure if that dream would become a nightmare. Don't get me wrong, St. Ives & Padstow are beautiful but the touristy parts of Cornwall IMHO aren't the best parts to be. The quieter backwater small towns & villages are not only cheaper to buy in but so much more peaceful. Perpy, it's so cold here as well (just started a thread about it). Bet it's a lot warmer in Crete .... Kenny can we all move in with you please?  |

Lol, yeah, I'm sure you're right...it would be hell in high season and it wouldn't take long to feel totally ripped off. Nice idea though, I do love Cornwall, it's so beautiful. |

Lol don't worry Lindsay - it sometimes doesn't work for me either A neighbour of mine used to live in Fowey (just 5 miles away). he said that often in high season he had uninvited tourists dropping in - literally! The road in front of his cottage was so narrow he would often open his front door & someone trying to avoid the cars passing through would fall into his cottage |

I know, I desperately need a new prescription but I can't bear to spend money on essentials when I could be frittering it on luxuries  Going have to crack soon though, it's getting that bad. £200 MINIMUM, just for replacement lenses scylla |
