Were you thinking of moving anyway? Do you like the area enough to spend more than a holiday two weeks? Do you have family living near you now? Just don't let your heart rule your head.Good luck.

Hardly! I hope you can manage it as long as you don't go into it only with the rosy coloured goggles on!

You're not bonkers to think about it, but you just might be bonkers to actually do it!

Nostalgia is a powerful emotion, but sometimes those memories are best left in the past. Only my opinion, of course.

For the first 20years of my life we spent every holiday there, never going anywhere else. So many happy memories. My gf died when I was 20. Now the house has come on the market & I would move there tomorrow. It needs an awful lot of work and is 230 miles away. Dh is hoping I will go off the idea but I can't get it out of my head. Am I bonkers to even think of it?
