[Sussex] If you could live anywhere ?

[Fungus]

Here. One long holiday.

 

[Mental Lental]

I'd have 3 houses. One in Japan for spring and autumn, one in Brighton for summer and one in Australia for winter (summer actually).

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Chalvington Ripe
nice name
nice place

That's a cricket team isn't it?
Is Ripe exactly the same as Chalvington?
Only one's got a pub [I think]

Often people choose somewhere they've been on holiday - but living there permanently is quite different.

Never been, but thought the climate and lifestyle of New Zealand's North Island might tick most boxes

 

[countryman]

A nice house in the countryside within a 20 minute drive of Lewes with a nice garden and a small field. I would hate to live out of Sussex.

 

[Ⓩ-Ⓐ-Ⓜ-Ⓞ-Ⓡ-Ⓐ]

I have often thought about this but can never decide which one out of
Hawaii
Italy
A Greek Island
Stockholm
All brilliant for one reason or another.
In this country I would not move from where I am for anything.

I've been lucky enough to live in Hawaii, the beautiful Greek island of Paros and also Costa Rica.

Hawaii gets my vote every time, Honolulu has everything

 

[Brownstuff]

Apart from Brighton, Monaco

Quiet part of Ibiza in a villa overlooking the sea.

This. Plus a large brownstone in NYC, an apartment in Tokyo along with a place in Berlin.... plus a lottery win.

On a serious note I have been quite fortunate to live pretty much in the places where I have wanted to live which is London, Brighton and Berlin. I would also love to spend a year or two in NYC at some point in my life.

I visited Hawaii (Kauai & Honolulu) some time ago, I have never felt so comfortable anywhere else in the world. The climate was perfect the lifestyle stunning scenery the beaches and surf and Honolulu is a fantastic city 100% perfect location.
I spent a whole summer island hopping the Cyclades but Paros & Antiparos was my favourite and the island I spent the most time on and have returned a few times since for holidays.
Mylopotas beach on Ios with the Far out Cafe is fabulous too but Ios Town is another story an absolute nuthouse that not many know about.
But previous poster is correct, not sure I could live there in the winter.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Palawan. My only option is to buy a house there and live like a hippy, or get into the real estate biz.

Very nice, have a friend who lives in Boracay .Trouble is is so frigging hot in the summer then so wet for 3 months!

 

[Commander]

A ranch on the Pampas in Argentina. But I'd want to fly back to Sussex for a couple of months of the year, probably for the end of the football season.

You need to get out more.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Byron Bay, NSW during their Summer, Brighton during our Summer.

I am not on the wind up here but I am astounded that so many want to stay in Sussex/Brighton sure sussex is nice and Brighton is a good city i am from T Wells myself but if i could live anywhere it would not be sussex.
I feel lucky to live between Devon & Cornwall but there are many places I would rather live (but not in the UK)
Unless its because you would miss The Amex then of course its completely understandable.

That's what Kipling said to Ravilious.

Horses for courses, innit. He didn't say that, however.

Astounded? Really? Nick Cave, Paul McCartney and Roger Daltry are not from Sussex and I'm sure all three could choose to live anywhere in the world but they have all chosen Sussex/Brighton. In fact Mr Cave has lived in Brasil, Aus and Germany so far and seems to prefer Brighton.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Apart from Brighton, Monaco

What is the attraction? Does not appeal to me in the slightest.

 

[red star portslade]

Yosemite, California.

They are two separate places, each with their own pub. The Yew Tree at Chalvington and the Lamb in Ripe. I live just up the road and drive through Chalvington every day on my way to Berwick station. Lovely part of the world.

 

[Return of the Rev]

On a rugged part of Cornish coast with a nice path onto a sandy bay.
