Brilliant advice, thanks to all who have taken the time to respond. Its certainly not a whim on my part, have been thinking about it for some now, its just that all my planets have aligned so to speak that it now demands serious investigation. Yep the advice to actually spend some time there to get a feel is something I'm going to do this year and I do have an old work colleague who lives in Tavistock and she's a big fan of the area. As some have mentioned, the weather does seem to be a regular "negative" and for sure I'm no fan of the rain. I went to Bude virtually a year ago to buy a motorcycle from a nice little outfit called North Cornwall Motorcycles, had a chat with guys there a couple of whom were ex London boys who had been down there for about 10 years. They highly recommended it and said it was like going back to the 1980's which is fine by me as liked the 80's ! Again, thanks for the comments / advice. Regards Steve
