So I am writing a brand new post called My Dream Home, but updating the thinking. <br /><br />There is something special about the the coastal areas of Cornwall (and its neighbours). People talk about contentment and don't sound fanciful.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-84201969780291148572009-09-19T06:59:18.634+10:002009-09-19T06:59:18.634+10:00A difficult decision, space or ambient view.

Somewhere with a little more space for growing fruit and vegetables perhaps a little way back from the coast, but with the sea still in easy distance.<br /><br />I live in Cornwall with the sea on both sides, but the only people who can afford to live on the coast are those with two homes and a well paid job in London. Still, if I stand on top of the hill behind my house, I can see both coasts which is fine with me, I'm content.John Hopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495250254811460833noreply@blogger.com
