Where To Self-isolate, If You Had A Choice ?

[MotorBoater]

The wife has just spent three days of the last four watching Midsummer Murders, afternoon and weekends.

It occurs to me that in spite of DCI Barnaby's best efforts there can't be many residents left so I think that might be a good place to self-isolate.

The village shops and pubs are still open at the moment.

Where would you like to be - if you couldn't choose the broads !

[ranworthbreeze]

I would always choose Hope Cove in Devon even over the Broads.

Wisons Promontory, the most southerly point on mainland Australia. Easy social distancing there.

In the UK a long term let, should that be possible, of The Clavel Tower  at Kimmeridge, Dorset from The Landmark Trust.

Excellent views and distancing.

Here in Norfolk,  the only thing better would be to have a river or broad at the bottom of the garden.

It would be the broads,that's where we hope to move to next year.It would be lovely on the river with moorings. So we could sit on the boat and take in the river.

I agree. There isn’t anywhere else we would rather be.  We also intend to move to Norfolk in two years time although we are now seriously thinking of bringing this forward.

That might actually turn out be the soonest you could anyway!

I am happy with where I am, indeed I feel at home here and eternally grateful for that privilege.

The view from the end of our garden.

Why on earth would I not want to self isolate here!

With our big skies the Broads can be stunningly beautiful.

[Cockatoo]

Honestly?

We are happy where we are. I'm just glad Debs managed to move up here full time at Christmas.

[JennyMorgan]

Honestly!

I think I would like to be out at sea, on the open ocean, on a voyage which started before the virus took hold. I have spent months at sea before now, and I love it.

 

BUT NOT ON A CRUISE SHIP!

[JennyMorgan]

A mud berth on Breydon Water might be good. So much of interest, an ever changing vista.

When this is over - can you organise a coach.   It looks like paradise.

[ChrisB]

It is also one of the best places to see these:-

The day before I got there was continuous heavy rain. Wombats are nocturnal but hate getting wet like our Badger. So the had not eaten for 36 hours and were out forageing during the day.

Ibiza - Cala Mastella:

But not such a good idea at the moment as they have big restrictions & going to any beach is not an option.

This was September 2019.

Absolutely stunning photo.

I would choose somewhere similar being a Broads waterside location with a mooring at the bottom of the garden.

A cool million should guarantee it!

I want to be at the bottom of Peter's  (JM ) garden. Just a small shed will do.

Hello Susan, 

We have been going most years to Hope Cove for the last 30 years since the boys were 4 & 6 years old.

Which again proves what value Norfolk and North Suffolk are. A million is about one third of the starting prices of homes on a decent stretch of The Thames.

During my 30 years in the travel business I've been around the world a number of times. I'm lucky to have visited just about everywhere I ever wanted to, with the odd exception. I've never been to Kashmir, and would have loved to have visited the houseboats on Dal Lake, Srinigar. I had it planned a couple of times but tensions in the region which is disputed between India and Pakistan caused my plans to be cancelled. Likewise I've never been to Samarkand, again I was due to do so on a Silk Road tour but local unrest meant this part of the tour was missed and we ended up stuck in Tashkent for several days. As I wasn't paying I could hardly complain and it did give me the chance to experience a flight in a Mig 29. About the only other place I never visited, surprisingly was Italy and whilst the longer haul destinations might have passed me by I do plan to catch up on Italy one day, perhaps a self drive grand tour?

Of all the places I visited I was always glad to be heading home with one exception, and that was the Seychelles. Somewhat surprising for me as beach resorts are generally not high on my list but I loved the Seychelles and if I could choose where to be locked down then it would be there. Perhaps the island of La Digue, which was delightful.
