Or find a lovely little village school and spend our days living a slow, traditional life

It’s my dream

Has anyone got this, am I being realistic?

A friend did it. Turns out Cornwall can be quite grim in winter and lots of the lovely stuff that's open in summer just shuts in winter.

Cornwall is not an affluent part of the UK there aren't loads of jobs outside the seasonal tourist trade linked stuff.

Often these pipe dreams aren't quite so great in reality

What job are you planning on doing?

I live in Cornwall and it is lovely, but it's very expensive and jobs are scarce especially well paid ones. If you find a high enough paying low enough hours job to have the time and energy left to homeschool and afford a house then do it . I suspect that's rare though.

Well we live a slow village life with a small school, allotment etc but we both have to work to afford it.
