Thanks for your comments! you obviously know where im coming from.
There are people who come into my pub who have lived in Cumbria for the best part of 50 years and have never been into the lakes!
I think sometimes you never no whats on your doorstep until you havnt got it anymore. For me though.......i have only lived here for a few years and am not from cumbria....I have used cumbria for making money, the price of property when i brought was rock bottom but now has risen dramatically (pubs not residential) I have very little competion around me and i do what i do well so its easy for me to walk away from this lovely part of the Uk. Its great to come here on holiday but not so great when you work like i do.
Some will say the same for Oz......great place to holiday but not to live but i will be the judge of that!
We will keep you posted on events!
