    I really wasn't going to guess again - but as I have half a point -  I can't even remember what for ??? Hull ??
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    I’m pretty sure Hull would be slightly north of Cheery?

    To be honest I've become so befuddled I can't remember where she started LOL

    OK What do we know. Cheery lives in the Peak District.

    She drove 'down' for 5 hours so south?
    It has a pier, must be fairly large as she can't see the sea and it is a good walk to the seafront. Mr C went to Asda to buy a fan so it has an Asda.
    Can see container ships, so near to a port? although anywhere near the English Channel would fit.
    Sea kale? my first thought was Norfolk but that is Samphire you get there.

    ADD I have found this on Wiki about Sea Kale.

    In England it is primarily found on the southeast coast (extensively along Chesil Beach in Dorset), but it also occurs on stretches of the East Anglian and Cumbrian coasts. In Wales it is found on the northern beaches and in Scotland in the extreme southwest.[13]
    If you go down to the woods today you better not go alone.

    This made me laugh so much - such excellent detective work, Kojak would be proud 😂😂 Love how you have listed everything you know in a nice systematic analytical way - exactly what I would have done myself! 

    So, I can reveal that, finally, one of you is right 😂😂 But I'll need to go back and check who it was 😂😂

    Well deduced! Also very close to Mr C Snr so we would NOT be going there for a holiday 😂

    Nice guess - but not south, and rather too close to my own parents for a mystery holiday 😂
