    Goa for 6 months of the year, and keep a base here :D

    I was going to make a cheap joke using words like 'bit of' and 'Goa,' but I'll behave & leave this one for Mewbie.....:rotfl:

    The idea of splitting the year occurred to me too. I'd choose the West Coast of Scotland for my 6 (summer) months of the year and Cornwall for the rest, but I could make do with West Wales as a compromise all year round. Not very adventurous I know, but warm climates don't suit me, and NZ is a long way from friends/family.

  • I'd like to live in Bermuda, it's beautiful and they have a great lifestyle (barring hurricanes)...I hate to be shut in so much in the winter.

    But I would have to take the family with me.

    I think I'd go with France. Good culture, good wine, lovely countryside, not too far from Britain and my friends/family.

    Don't think I'd ever permenantly leave Britain though.

    I lived and worked in Portland for years (it is that Chesil Beach I assume).

    OMG what is it like???...I think I have turned into the bloke in the movie ''3 and Out''....I sit and stare at pics of the beach and an overpriced wooden hut (just reduced to £450k) when I feel a bit stressed.

    But I have a sneaky feeling I have an image of life there that may not turn out to be how I imagine it to be. I am a bit of a London girl too.


    Other snag is OH doesn't want to live there, or look after sheep, or grow turnips ....
  • Hong Kong - Predicted moving date 2012!
  • If, and it's a very very big if that we had to leave, somewhere with a good education and health system , that's hilly and not too hot - Norway seems to fit the bill.

    Ditto and to be more specific bergen.
  • I wanted to leave a few years ago and spent a year in Oz and 3 months in Japan. Different surroundings but still took my head with me. Ended up missing the people here and sense of belonging.

    When I came back I had a shift in thinking and quite like it here now. Except for ridiculous house prices.

    I loved it but decided to move to 'further my career'. It was a difficult decision and driving over the causeway, behind the removals van, brought a tear to my eye.

    Chesil Beach is most impressive.

    I wouldn't go back though. Somerset is lovely too.
