If you could live anywhere, where would you live?

[HedgeVeg]

Pure escapism thread = Money no object and assuming your family would move with you, or you could see them regularly?

(Ie. "Barbados because I love the beach life" answer's rather than "Coventry, cause gran lives there" )

I live in my dream area anyway in the middle of nowhere, but a seaside cottage would be nice, or the middle of nowhere in a cold, snowy country! Where would you live?

Rural Yorkshire. I grew up there and would love to go back

Santa Barbara. I'm irrationally devastated Harry and Meghan moved there!
Possibly Palo Alto since they've stolen Santa Barbara.

Kent. My happy place.
If anyone fancies swapping I'm in the south of Italy.

Cornwall. 100%. But not any of the majorly touristy bits, somewhere a bit less fraught. DH on the other hand would choose Scotland, so about as far way from each other as we could be

Monte Carlo. In a huge palace.

Tokyo. The most interesting and exciting place I've ever been to.

Ibiza - avoiding the tourist spots - it's beautiful, lovely weather, not too far to get home if needed.

Exactly where I am. That’s the beauty of finding your happy place.

Menorca because it’s beautiful and the weather is gorgeous. It’s not too far to get home in an emergency.

Where I am now (the guts of south London) just with more space.

@Blossomtoes bloody love your answer! 😊

Small plot of land somewhere remote in Scotland. Paddock for an animal or two and a tiny haybale house for me.

Ah, I have multiple places.

Main place is a big rural property in the Yorkshire Dales
Small cottage in Snowdonia for weekend trips
Some sort of holiday place in Scotland - fairly rural, with mountains nearby

I'm totally not fussed about going abroad to live but would just do trips with the never ending money pot

Tanegashima Island. Life is so slow and natural. Beautiful calm beach.

West Coast of Scotland, preferably with the beach on the front (or back doorstep).
(I actually have a dream house picked out but I'd need a mahoosive lottery win!)

Australia, no question.

Outer Hebrides

Chelsea

Skye

Fife coast

I'd like to live on one of the ocean liners that navigate the earth such as 'the world' or similar. Of course I'd like occasional homes too in a few places like Hawaii, Scandinavia, Canada, Monte Carlo, Cape Town ... perhaps a few other places 😉

In a large cottage type home but on a large piece of land made into a small forest in rural Yorkshire 🥰

Singapore. I'd love to live there for a few years and use it as a base to explore Asia more.

Where I am, been here 20+ years (mainland Europe)
