ive often thought that it'd be deadly to live in a beautiful rural area near the sea, preferably on either the sheepshead or beara peninsulas, but at the same time i dont think im really cut out to live in such places, i'll have to make do with holidays
its certainly hard to find the time and energy to get stuck into something creative if your stuck in the rat race and spending half your free time battling public transport. ideally i'd like to work maybe 6 months of the year in a nice city (with regular long weekends etc), spend some time in my house in west cork being creative and finishing stuff i was doing back in the evenings back in the city, and also i'd like to spend a few months each year overseas seeing the world. i dont think thats too much to ask
the mother has a bit of a field on the beara peninsula where i could pitch a tent but its miles to the nearest pub or shop
I lived on Sherkin Island (West Cork) for 4 months.
It was the best 4 months of my life.
There is nowhere in the world that I have seen that is more beautiful than a sunny day out and around that area.
Toronto
I was in Maine there for the last 10 days.
Fairly deadly so it is. The farther north you get the nicer it seems. Portland seemed like a good place to live alright, and an hour away from it you are in the middle of serious wilderness. Amazing surf and river paddling, deadly cycling roads and nice hiking places.
The missus and myself were camping on Hermit Island and rented a couple of sea kayaks and paddled them a few miles down the coast, in and out of the little natural harbors and bays and things.
Then we drove down to Bar Harbor, and camped on Desert Island. More amazing paddling there. Every other car seemed to have sea kayaks on it.
Lovely coast, and the inland looks really nice too.
I am just going to have to find a job out there now...
Apparently the weather is shitey and depressing in Portland and Boston is full of sports-obsessed "jackasses". This is according to some Americans I know who are looking to move somewhere. The guy would love Portland but the girl couldn't stand the dreary weather.
There's a Portland in Dorset too - it's where Hardy sets 'The Well-beloved'. Muckross House was made from portland stone. Ok, now I'm out of facts.
No takers on Dorset then? It seems to be competing with Cormac's Swords for the wooden spoon in this thread.
