Edinburgh

It has to be cheaper living out of London doesn't it? I have no idea but I'd follow my heart.

Hmmm, Norfolk is kind of boring IMHO, lived there when I was working there for 10 years.

The Midlands is more fun, seems to have a lot more going for it, sexy fun wise, and closer to some of the great outdoor places such as the National Forest, Lake District, Peak District etc...

And one can dash to East Anglia with relative ease.

Good luck, whatever you have decided!

I missed living in Central London, however, I love having a house with a garden in the country, something that I would not be able to do unless I win the lottery!

We moved to Cornwall in 1995 from the Black Country, and will never move back.

I've been made redundant 3 times, but I'd rather be on the dole here than back in the Midlands. As it happens I've never been out of work, but I'm sure you understand my line of thought.

I can earn much better money if I moved from Cornwall, but there's more to life than that.

Just make your mind up, and if you decide it's for you, then go for it.

Anyway, London is only an hour away isn't it? It takes us a hour and a half to get to a motorway from where we live now

Moved from a northern city to devon 11 years ago and wouldn't go back at all. Better quality of life, much less crime, nicer environment, just so many benefits.

Do you do things that make city life essential? theatres, art galleries etc? if not, make the move

Moved down here to Devon Thirteen years ago from the Bromley area in South London/Kent.

Have never regretted it one little bit, what isn't quite as good nowdays is the fact that house prices elsewhere in the country have been catching up with the South East over the last decade.

Don't be fooled that the cost of living is cheaper outside of the London area though, we pay far higher Council Tax rates and Water rates down this way than we ever did in the South East.

In general wages are lower outside of London as well, doesn't really affect us but it has to be considered.

One thing is for sure though, having revisited the South East last September for a family wedding we soon came to realise that we ABSOLUTELY made the correct decision in moving out in 1997.

When I left my husband eight years ago I wanted a complete change. I lived in Nunhead and looked at moving to Wroxham in Norfolk. My kids didn't want to go, and they'd be far from their dad, so I stayed in London and moved to Dulwich, four miles from the marital home.

I've not entirely given up on my dream but I think I'll give Norfolk a miss: I like Cheshire so who knows!

If you can make the move I'd go for it, and good luck!

near kings lynn

Well as i have lived in Norfolk pretty much all my life i would say go for it. Prices cheaper as you know. Beach is close and a slower pace of life. If you go to the kings Lynn area then the beach isnt far but you can still head off into the midlands reasonably.

North Norfolk is lovely and picturesque. I live in aylsham for some time and having wroxham and the coast close is lovely. I guess if you go towards great yarmouth way then links to London are probably good.

If you want fresh air to breathe then go for the country.
