looking for greener pastures

Mercury

Anyone know anything about North Wales?  The land, communities, sizes of towns and cities, culture and livability?  The south has long since become unpleasant and difficult to be in anymore.

Also other areas in mountain regions, rural and green spaces.  Fishing for ideas and inspiration at present.  In the future I intend to live away from densely populated areas especially as life for autistic people is rapidly becoming more difficult and untenable.  Today was horrible and made me think about how unhappy I am, how incomplete my life and sense of being are and how much better I feel surrounded by woodland with nothing but the sound of birds and leaves rustling.

  • I’ve recently bought a house in Cornwall, it’s going to be my permanent home when building work is finished. It’s basically me doing all the work, as on a tiny budget.

    I’m about 7 miles inland and surrounded by countryside, there are fishing lakes about 2 miles away. The house prices are a lot cheaper than where I’m from, the people are very friendly and helpful, I tend to stay away from the seaside towns in the summer as obviously very busy with tourists, I do appreciate that they are vital for the local economy. There are miles of countryside to just roam in and not have to engage with people if that’s how I’m feeling. I definitely notice my anxiety is less. I wish I had done it 20 years ago. I was thinking of living in Italy but as I age I’m also thinking about healthcare.
