Wish we could move - from a tiny house where we have lived for nearly 47 years - to somewhere nice, but we have always had a serious need for the specialist hospitals. Not to forget local friends and family.<br /><br />I agree with you that people move rural/coastal without really thinking it out. We have seen it happen time and time again with neighbours. They generally get a couple of good years - when they boast how wonderful their life is - but then ill health or other situations take their toll. Often they are moving away from family and support networks. <br /><br />I think if I lived in some small village where in comers took local housing and raised property prices I would be very angry too, but not all of us Londoners live in luxury. We were in Whitechapel again today - a place of poverty and overcrowding (although the trendies are now moving in) whilst just down the road are the towering buildings of The City. Rich and poor side by side. Nothing much changes; just worsens.Lesneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139947264337493961noreply@blogger.com
