Callisto - If possible, I would recommend keeping your current house and renting down there for a year to see how you like it.
As mentioned previously, visiting somewhere for a week is completely different to the day to day reality of living there. I'm not saying you won't like it but it will probably be different to what you imagined. |

Ah, but how long can Cornwall hold out? - after that it's the sea and the Scilly Isles

Thinking about emigrating to Somalia.
Nice climate and I reckon it must be fairly sparsely populated by now. |

Renting your place out is not a good idea.Come back after a year to find carnage or worse still squatters encamped..whichever way you look at it its agro ( speaking of a friends experience btw)

The funny thing is that by moving to the countryside the white flight brigade inflate the property market pricing out the locals and forcing them to move away..oh the irony.

wouldn't like to live near aggressive, knuckle-draggers such as woundupknee

any sensitive person would agree with woundedknee

twizzle - agreed. But I meant close friends/family. Being with them (nearly) anywhere is prefereable to a new location. Good company with lots of laughter triumphs a nice pad.
I love the SW. Visited Lulworth in Dorset for the first time this year. Wow.. England at her finest. Thatched cottages, coves, cliffs, beaches and cream teas. |

Still nostalgic for life behind your antifaschistischer Schutzwall, DIE LINKE? No aggressive knuckle-dragging habits among your party leaders back when they were running East Germany?

Who is more welcome, a family of the white flight brigade from Basildon arriving in a country village or a family of Somalis arriving in Basildon.
Not much in it I'd say. |

he doesn’t like to be reminded about that

Can you imagine , the ***** in E Germany stole a family friends summer house , just the wrong side of the border
They came to England , the father refused to speak German ever again quite right |
|
By:
No difference, TheBaron. If either family obeys the law and respects the way of life of the people into whose neighbourhood they've moved, they're welcome.

everywhere must take care of itself so that everyone can be free and easy everywhere
who could deny that |

You been sniffin glue again?

By:
Let the baron go to Somalia if he wants to live with Somalis ,
that seems to me to be a good arrangement he won’t be missed |

the problem with a lot of folk from Essex is the fact they're so

I would say that most arriving in rural Devon would embrace the quiet life surely wherever they're from ? a troublesome family would be heading to a similar situation on a rough estate in Plymouth (given the choice of address)
rough families wouldn't like life in a quiet village |
