  • I feel the same when I'm by the sea but then I always wonder would it be the same if I lived it and saw it every day? 
  • Dare I suggest a move to Scotland? Affordable seafront there. Cold though

    Good suggestion :) I adore Scotland and I don't dislike the cold. I visit when I can but it is too far from family so not an option...
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Absolutely with you in that, when we move from this land locked county one of the non negotiables for us both is less than an hour to the sea.

    I would absolutely love to live closer to the sea. I’m also in a land locked county 🙁

  • I lived away from the sea for almost a decade. Back in a seaside town now and wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. I work on the 6th floor of a large hospital and can see the sea from my corridor it makes a hard day slightly better!!
