Before I moved to Ireland I lived in the Medway Towns.

There was tons of work, good regular customers, a nice mix of towns and villages and the climate was good.

I'm close enough to the Peak District to have a round up there if I wanted.
I'll make Sunshine look like a splash and dash merchant tho which i'd feel guilty about ;D
Any way it would have to be a move somewhere new, the missus has got itchy feet too, we've been living back in our home town for over 4 years now :D

East Devon could be a good move, my missus fancies Cornwall
But I reckon prices are low there.
I've got a sister who lives near Newton Abbot and another one who lives in Yeovil so I'd see them a bit more ;D

Harlow would be a good place ,easy to dart into the smoke if you wanted to and stacks of houses you would never cope with the workload on yer own.  i almost set up there about 4 yrs back  but now am too  committed here in Suffolk/essex.    i wouldnt start up on the coast in suffolk again,it took me 3 yrs of true slog to get a decent base.  .
