How far north do you plan to move? I think Jane is further north  it's lovely country up there, but does have challenges, like the early nightfall in winter *says she sitting on the Oregon coast in America but still, it is quite beautiful in Scotland! |

Well thats about as far north as you can go without getting your feet wet lol, short days in winter, and almost no nights in summertypically you get 6 hours of daylight in mid-winter and 18 hours in mid-summer. You'll find postage/courier costs for mail order items higher, there is less pollution, wonderful scenery tho it is very exposed quite flat at John o Groats I think

Lol yes is quite far north, it does look very flat so thats one of the things i need to check . Shelter for my horses and the short days . It is facing the sea . I would like a slower pace of life  Manchester is getting faster  each day.It woould be life changing move . |

It def would be a life changing move, have you visited there if not a short fact finding holiday would be a good plan, there are plenty of slower paced areas up here, the Borders where we are is nice, also the west coast of Argyll is stunning, I have lots of photos from over that way flic.kr/s/aHsjwgiJ43flic.kr/s/aHsk3tUd4D |

Thank you Zelda for the pics , the west coast is a lot nicer than the east coast. I went to visit the place although it was nice it was too remote .  i am now looking at France |

Helen, Cadeby on here, lives in France with her lovely ponies, I quite fancy it myself but hubby can't get past the fact that he doesn't speak the language, mind you he finds problems with anywhere when I suggest moving, he just doesn't want to move full stop.

I am trying to learn french but im not great at english lol.
The property you can get get for a fraction of the price of here. The weather is better although I hear flies are a nightmare.
I have got to try and get over for a weekend and have a look. I am still looking in the uk but very few unless you have pots of money.
