The Guvnor Posted 25 April 2013 Posted 25 April 2013 we have similiar places here in the UK, why not move to those places? I've been to most places in the UK and none of them hold a candle to the places I mentioned in Canada. Add the standard of living, size of houses,fantastic dining, etc If you have never been,add a visit to your wishlist you won't be disappointed. In what way didnt they? p.s. I've been to canada. Everything in life is subjective and obviously that was my opinion, but please tell me where in the UK is there anywhere like Lake Louise when the lake is frozen with the view of the glacier,the rock flour making the iced over waterfalls incredible blues and greens or where is comparable to the view in Banff, sitting in the hot springs?
Guest Posted 25 April 2013 Posted 25 April 2013 Whats your thoughts on st ives? I haven't been there in 25 years but I remember it as a beautiful seaside town focussed on its harbour. what do you have there?

Whilst I agree with what you say - it isn't too hard to find beautiful frozen lakes and iced waterfalls in the UK.

Like you say its subjective, my arguement is the holiday spirit clouds peoples judgements, but for me places like Buttermere, Wastwater, Lake Vyrnwy rival most....my guess is most who visit certain places abroad are unaware of such places I have mentioned. I haven't been there in 25 years but I remember it as a beautiful seaside town focussed on its harbour. what do you have there? I have a place near carbis bay, its only a small property.

Even the popular Lakes are fantastic places - I spent some great times hiking, boating and camping around Windermere in the spring and Autumn. Does the Carbis Bay property have a sea view?

MooseBreath Posted 25 April 2013 Posted 25 April 2013 Those places look boring. What is there to do except sit inside and try to stay warm? Once you're sitting inside you might as well be sitting anywhere.

Guest MattP Posted 25 April 2013 Posted 25 April 2013 Thats nice, Heres carbis bay (st ives) I mentioned, FIF will soon be living here. I've always wanted to go there actually, been to quite a bit of Cornwall but never got to the North Coast yet. Looks quite stunning.
purpleronnie Posted 25 April 2013 Posted 25 April 2013 I've always wanted to go there actually, been to quite a bit of Cornwall but never got to the North Coast yet. Looks quite stunning. It really is amazing, of course it looks a lot better when the sun is shining.
Guest MattP Posted 25 April 2013 Posted 25 April 2013 It really is amazing, of course it looks a lot better when the sun is shining. I'll try and get down over the summer. 7 hour minimum train mind.
Guest Posted 25 April 2013 Posted 25 April 2013 I win So is that the property you're thinking of buying? Or do you think they'll let you build in the area? What about shops?
Guest Posted 25 April 2013 Posted 25 April 2013 This is the webcam of the beach in front of my house - Soulac plage sud - at this moment. People in the sea, high 20's perhaps even 30 in the sun.
