A place to retire

After spending 40 years travelling to Cornwall many times a year, retirement looms so we purchased a home in Carbis Bay.

Not worried about being a so called outsider I have now purchased a second home in Cornwall and since the lock down, we have signed as a volunteers, met some nice people in need of our services for shopping etc . Recently I traveled to Reading to pick a stair lift for a local person a round trip or 550 miles and a 19 hour day.

Not all outsiders are money grabbers, I guess some have worked very hard to earn the money to purchase in this area.

I would like these whingers to look at their motives. Would it not be better voice an opinion about accidental release of sewage into Cabis bay ? or improvement of Mental health services, fight for more youth services.

I too have to suffer the St Ives road in the summer. It sometimes makes me laugh when i find out the person who is moaning about outsiders have only lived here for 15 years or less !!

Since 2016 i have spent with local tradesmen around 80K on property refurbishment and I am sure I will invest more in both houses and local businesses.

you can't have it both ways. Stop people coming to Cornwall and where will you be ?

Just another point after leaving school in Reading at 15 with no certificates to my name and during the 3 day week recession we managed to save, work, save, work, save raise 2 children and finally Cornwall.
