For me I will get as rural as I can and may even consider getting a flat and living on a boat for 7 months of the year. Just got to make sure the wife doesn't find me

Has Norfolk got Internet?
I used to love walking out of my flat at weekends without a plan and see where the day took me . I miss Crystal Palace and family , more opportunities to see decent live music but more than anything the feelings of vibrancy and anonymity you get in big cities.
Dorchester has lovely countryside , close to beaches but few job opportunities and it’s just so uniform

We moved out a few years ago, and we love it. Not too remote, but far enough out, and down a lane in the middle of fields. Once I had got to grips with when to empty the septic tank, and when to fill the oil tank, that was about the long and tall of any stress tbh. Owls get a bit noisy around dusk, and the cows wake you up in summer, badgers and foxes shit in the garden, the odd deer wanders in too.
Was very ready for it.
I like cities, and spend a fair bit of time visiting them, but coming home to a rural spot is hard to beat, for me.
When we were looking for a place, we found one right on the edge of a moor, facing a reservoir. It was in 10 acres of woodland and field, and was completely off grid. Water from a borehole, powered by a diesel engine pump. Main power from oil, solar and a large number of backup storage batteries. I'd never seen anything like it. Nearly 3 miles to the nearest bus stop and, critically, same distance to the pub. It also had a small lake in it, and it wasn't that expensive either. But, decided in the end it was just a bit too remote and bit too off grid. We'd worry a bit if the kids were on their own. Kept thinking, what if the borehole develops a problem, or the generator stops etc etc?
Cool place though, but a bit "cabin in the woods"!
£240k, £260k
Lots of big houses cheap there
I wonder if Rhyl will pickup demographically in the future
I can remember considering Hastings in the 90s, but Mrs thought it was too grotty and run down, AFAIK that is very different now
