Rain,sleet,more rain, wind, fog, rain, mist -- welcome to winter in Cornwall!-- and whoever says prices are going down in London must be mad-- they are still going up as far as we can see--we saw 2 flats last week, one we saw 2 years ago in a dreadful state was STILL in a dreadful state and is now £300,000 more expensive, the other has increased by £450,000 (50%!!! and it is not even very special) - WHAT IS GOING ON ??? Who has so much money to spend on dreadful property??? --- so we wait down here in the rain and the cold with the waves lashing around our building and the wind licking our cheeks and the salt spray stinging our eyes - actually quite magical at times--- at some point our perfect place will come up for sale and we shall be up there like a shot--- we don't for one minute miss our "ivory tower" which eventually sold last October after 4 false starts and a threat of sueing for vast sums when the buyer nearly didn't complete-- now we just want to get going with the next phase of our lives---
