Coast or Near family?

I'd recommend renting over the Winter to see if you really like it.
I was brought up on the coast and we had a constant trail of people who retired to our village and then found living there was very different from the dream.

Which coast are you thinking of?

If its something you have always wanted to do Willow I would go for it, I lived on the coast for many years and really miss it now. Would you be able to rent for a year or so to see of it all pans out. My grandchildren used to love visiting me at the seaside. Good luck.

How far away from the GC is the coast?

Dilemma. I have always wanted to live at the coast and now have the chance. I now live near my grandchildren but only see them once a week. This is usually only when their parents have got nothing going on or they need an extra pair of hands.
Is it better having them to stay for a long weekend/week a few times a year or to have them local? I'm torn and wondered about other peoples experiences of this.
