I thought the sea came to you (within a few fields) every year?
Technically a river I suppose, but they are all the same

A mate and his wife own what has to be about the biggest house in Bolton.

She decided the same thing so she looked up places comparable to their ridiculous barn but near Brighton.

She was horrified that they were all flumpty squillion quid :grinning:

Highly intelligent woman but somehow she hadn’t connected the dots.

I spent the summer working a few miles down the coast in 91 and went to the SF quite regularly along with other Gaudi buildings in Barcelona.
Admittedly it was the year before the Olympics were held, so the whole city was a bit of a building site but I remember the SF and Barcelona in general very positively.

I remember shuffling up the tower and leaning out to see the various ‘hidden’ sculptures of birds etc, and then having a severe vertigo episode going over that little bridge that links the towers.
