    We live in Pembrokeshire because we camped in Wales for decades and I wouldn't move away from here. I might try to buy the fields around us to protect our sea view just in case a farmer decides to put a campsite on it.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    I would not want to move anywhere else than Cornwall which is where I am now, bit of a pain this time of year when all the emmets flock here but a lot of people rely on them for a living so will forgive them, possibly move to a better property but happy where we are now.

    In the Peak District would be perfect for me.
    Life isn't about the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away. Like choking....

    Maybe something like this which would give me enough left over for a really nice car.

    There’s a big detached run down house near the beach on Anglesey. I’ve said since the first day I saw it if I ever won the lottery I’d knock on the door and ask to buy it. 

    Currently in the middle of renovating a bungalow that I always said I’d love to get my hands on after passing it for the last 10 years. Never know maybe house dream number 2 will come true

    I like hills or sea as my view. Somewhere like the Malverns or Pembrokeshire 

    not sure I would want to spend £1m because of the cost of upkeep.

    I adore this house in Frinton-on-Sea. Saved it, but sadly can't afford it! Love it there.

    Gorgeous house.  I love Frinton too!

    I live in my dream location- I moved 2 years ago.

    It is a tiny Cornish fishing village. I love it here, but if I had a million I would love a house with an amazing sea view which we don't have.

    Our house has a big garden which a lot of the sea view properties don't have. I would need 2 million for the view and the garden!

    My absolute dream is to live in Greece though.
