    Well a large proportion of the housing stock is small two and three beds so they are more affordable.

    Lots of the people who went to the village primary here live in the village and have been economically very successful.

    Though they have returned after careers elsewhere.

    More affordable and still perfectly nice

    I thought Devon was more expensive than Cornwall, but you wouldn't get that house for less than 180k round here, and I live in one of the cheaper areas!

    Up to 33 items now.

    Next up make stew and painting.
  • Very well done. My day has been positively luxurious by comparison.
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Thanks.

    Painting didn't get done and I am exhausted now.

    Huge thunderstorm here.

    Puppylove is now asleep on my legs, the fire is lit. Marking looms!

    So much still to do...
