I moved house a few months ago, not far, just an extra five or ten minutes to the beach, but far enough. It's a testament to the beauty of devon that a few miles makes such a difference to your feeling of space. As i drive home i feel lucky to see the stars shine, uninhibited by light pollution, to wake up to this view every morning and hear only sheep and the occasional tractor. Country soul indeed...................
Please note, this doesnt mean i've gone all "good life" and started rearing chickens, there are limits!

You moved out a little further away from the coast CP? It is amazing how different the atmos feels a little away from the touristy spots in Devon. Very quiet, with just the sounds of the birds and distant farm machinery! Definitely a nice spot to raise a family if you're happy in the area - which you clearly are!
Coming from a reasonable sized city it just felt a little too quiet out that way for me hence the retreat back to the New Forest. Great for cycling, miss the waves though, especially in summer!
IT'S ONLY a tiny bit further- an extra 5 mins in the car, kinda the perfect distance for peace without isolation!
