I think when I said cross breeds I should have said in breeds as well. I found them a strange lot and wow could they moan.

Have been going to North Devon for thirty odd years, love the place and the people, most of whom are quite glad to see us, especially when we go in October when they are getting over a slow and quiet summer. I'm scared of flying so is my daughter, so I won't be going abroad.

Ooh tell me where you go! We live in the tiniest little prettiest village right on the coast.

Normally, Mortehoe/Putsborough, and combesgate beach, I intend to have my ashes taken there when I've popped my clogs, that's how Much I love it.
Normally try to get down two or three times a year, love it in any weather!

Oh no! What do I do? Do I do a C4 and pull a flounce?

And who mentioned TOTNES?

I love Totnes (woodstock), it's beautiful and extremely chilled. I am about 7 miles from there as it goes.

Someone after my own heart This is my area! We used to holiday in Clifton Court at Putsborough for many years. Like you we used to try to get down at least twice a year, now we are lucky enough to live here! We're a little further down the coast now, near Combe Martin.

Oh lucky you.
We've stayed at Combe Martin, lovely little place, there was a dolphin with its baby in the bay, kept folk amused for hours, amazing!

I would move down tomorrow but my hubby would struggle for work, at the moment.

Aww I do sympathise. I was longing to move down here and even asked my hubby whether he could get a transfer (he was a postman) but he didn't think he would get one. We had to wait until he retired.

Newton Abbot

Mind you, it's still very pretty just very busy. I was born in Brixham and lived there for 20 years, moved to Dartmouth for 12 and now am over in Kingswear.

Most people call Totnes Woodstock because it literally is like a permanent festival. The old Elizibethan market, the massive amount of organic food and clothing shops, home made jewellry stores etc. The fact everyone usually votes for the Green party, the abundance of ** ahem ** Rastafarian Old Holborn ** that can be found there. And the fact it is so chilled out and peaceful. And also most like it because everyone always boycotts the arrival of larger commercial stores such as Tesco etc. They do want to keep everything local and not be invaded by massive superstores and things. It's lovely, and refreshing when so much of Devon, especially Torquay has been ruined by the out of town shops and supermarkets. It leaves the towns dead I think that's the same in most places though.

When I posted that I expected such a response.

Terribly disappointed that it took 7 pages.

Thank you.

Yeah Ilfracoombe is beautiful. As is Clovelly. Agh, as is most of Devon, Cornwall and Somerset and Dorset. But so is most of the UK. There are beautiful places everywhere and no matter where you are, it's not that far to get away to somewhere pretty or peaceful. We could all be so much worse off and could be living in Iraq or Afghanistan or Darfur.

For goodness sake, don't forget the carrot crunching, pasty munching, cider drinking, straw chewing, webbed feet, tractor driving yokels as well.
