So there are lots of you on here and all over the country so maybe someone lives in a great place that would be just right for me!!!!
I moved from Cornwall to Warrington to help my daughter but now is the time I can move on again! I was going to Prestatyn but just cannot find a property there so wondering if there is some 'higher reason' and a better place to live!
I like to be near the sea/somewhere to swim outside, access to London, everything in walking distance. Somewhere lovely with access to nature. I never want to move again!!! Needs to be the right place.
I did once meet someone who lived in a complex with an outdoor swimming pool. Wow!
St Ives where I used to live is too far from family and everything really although I do love it there. My daughter is going to Mold and my son lives near Conwy and my elderly parents are in Sussex . But this time I am going somewhere for me!!!
I actually have a buyer who has agreed to wait for me to move/complete til March 22nd but wants to exchange any day.
Thank you!

You could do worse than to stick a compass in the middle of London and draw a line around (not a complete circles obviously grin) and see if any places within a certain radius inspire you - and are affordable vwaves!

Kent - you have loads of places for outdoor swimming options and a high speed rail link to London

Do you want to be closer to your children or your parents? If your children I would say look around the area between Abergele and Llandudno. By the sea, good shops, not too far (about 30 minutes by car)from your daughter and close to your son and a beautiful area. If you want to be between your children and your parents I’m not sure how you can do that and still be near the coast, maybe others have more knowledge than me?
