Recommendations - perfect climate?
Following up to strawberry icecream
I was wondering where in the world posters would recommend for the perfect climate? The Balearics have got a pretty good climate but I like some snow in winter so wouldn't do for me. All the places I have been fail to have the best climate at all seasons. Spain is too hot in summer, the English Lake District has enough snow for me but not enough for ski developments, god so far, but is too wet in summer. Northern Italy has too much fog. Cornwall is pretty good, good light, not humid, plenty of variety[1], big seas in winter, if it just had some snowy mountains in the middle! 1] I hate clear blue skies day after day, others probably love them. -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso Wasdale-Lake district-Thames path-London "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Eat-walk-Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

The answer, of course, is to have houses in all the places you like and move between them, according to the season. Colin Bignell |

Except I don't believe in ownership of multiple houses, the less houses on our small island the better. Own one small house and stay in rented/hotel/tent. -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso Wasdale-Lake district-Thames path-London "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Eat-walk-Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

Only two of the five environments you mention are on our small island and the advantage of owning a holiday home is that you don't need to carry more with you than a passport and a book to read on the 'plane. The disadvantage is that you feel obliged to take more holidays, so as to make best use of it. Colin Bignell |

I think i'm supposed to say something about Dutch peacekeepers now. and the advantage of owning a holiday home is that you don't need to carry more with you than a passport and a book to read on the 'plane. The disadvantage is that you feel obliged to take more holidays, so as to make best use of it. That's a big problem, you see people loaded down with stuff instead of luggage, to do repairs and generally behave as if they are at home, instead of enjoying themselves. -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso Wasdale-Lake district-Thames path-London "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Eat-walk-Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

I don't even do that myself at home and it does much more for relations with the community to get the village artisan in to do the work. Colin Bignell |
