Dh and I have had a plan to move up to Glasgow for some years now. He's from Scotland (east coast) and I'm from SE England, but we know Glasgow well and love it. We have friends up there, love spending time there, eating out, going to gigs, enjoying all that the city has to offer. So the plan was always to buy a lovely big flat - ideally in the west end - and live out our lives in the buzz of the city with all amenities on tap but still having easy access to beautiful countryside.
But...then lockdown happened. We have been spending lots of time at home, in the garden, going for country walks, using our time to grow the veg we've never been able to spend much time on before. The thought of big skies and chickens is looking increasingly attractive 
, living a more relaxed outdoorsy life, maybe even near a beach. We've not been to a gig or a restaurant for months and we don't miss it at all. Suddenly the thought of being without my own outside space seems really depressing. But I do really love Glasgow, it feels like coming home.
So, now we're torn. Part of me hankers after the city, part of me wants the country - but it's got to be either/or - no suburbs! DH feels the same way.
The other thing is that while it would be just me and DH most of the time, I have a ds at university who would need to live with us in holidays and probably beyond.
With a budget of max £400k and no ties to schools or work (but good broadband and transport links for ds a must!) - would you do city or country? And if country, where?
