POLL: Would you rather live in the UK or abroad?
For all us UK dwellers, we're very lucky to have access to such diversity on this little island, but some of us get itchy feet, and find ourselves looking for greener (or perhaps more appropriately sunnier) pastures abroad.
There's a lot to say about living here and living abroad, but the big question is where holds the pull for you?

8 years agoWhilst I love England, and all it has to offer,(We live in North Yorkshire), we don't really want to move.... BUT if someone offered me a weather boarded home in New England, you wouldn't see me for dust :) think the house in The Notebook, that Noah promised Allison (i know that was in the south, but that house......swoon :) Any offers??!!

POLL: Which home do you prefer in the film 'The Holiday'?
Comments (1)I prefer the French home in the film Chocolate...See MorePOLL: Pick a UK region - North or South?
Comments (21)Where does the North become the South? To read many of the comments you'd believe London IS the South rather than just a part of it. I was born in the North East, moved South when I was 27 and to the South Coast at 37. I've worked in London but couldn't bear to live there. Personally I love the North (East and West) but prefer the South - better weather, more facilities and more job opportunities. Just retired and could have moved anywhere in the UK but moved to the South West and loving it. And strangely, there's an awful lot of Northern folk here as well....See MorePOLL: Do you have a fireplace in your living room?
Comments (50)A flickering flame surrounded by ancient carved stone - Antique stone fireplaces add both character and a sense of place to any room, the knocks and bumps of the decades nay centuries, connecting hearth to home. Even with the advent of central and underfloor heating we crave that focal gathering point that a fireplace provides - a room without a fireplace? Nowhere to hang the picture, mirror or tapestry, no were to put your cards and certainly no place to hang your Christmas stocking!...See MoreWould you put a feature wall in this grey living room?
Comments (26)You like the idea of a feature wall, so take the advise from those who listened to you and replied with feature wall ideas, there are some really nice and a bit different wood effect wall papers, that would look good above and then just extended about 24" either side of your fire place, also the mirror could be just a little higher, the family photos you have would be better placed above the unit that your lamp is on, also pulled away from the corner about 3ft, your other wall art would look great placed above your sofa, but not the 2 flower one's, maybe try placing them one above the other on a narrow wall, and have your foot stall/pouffe underneath with a couple of cushions, almost creating a reading nook, good luck with what ever you choose to do...See Morehutchsl

8 years agoI live in an 18th century house in beautiful Whitby with the Moors looking inland - and with the Jurassic Coast on my doorstep. I cannot imagine anywhere better to have as my permanent base.
But below is my summer home in the Netherlands (the small classic boat in the foreground not the modern flats behind).
The Dutch are a delightful nation, the village is pretty (the flats are its least attractive feature) and the sailing is wonderful.
The combination works so well!
