And THAT, my dear, is why it's only 450.

Bother and all that!! How important is the commute when you weigh it up against a boot room?

A whole room for boots....

Wellington boots,riding boots, sailing boots,rugby boots apart from fancy boots which live in the wardrobe. Table to clean boots on, chair to sit on whilst cleaning boots (and shoes everyday before commuting). Multiply arithmetically/geometrically/exponentially/digitallyor by analogue for two generations of family who visit regularly and expect their boots to be there ready.
Yes, every house in Cornwall needs a boot room or two.

aa route finder just worked out that it would be a 16 hour 56 minutes, and 911.2 mile round trip for my hubby, so anything less than that and I say go for it!!

Welcome to Chez Magpie, two hippos. I think that there might a problem landing a helicopter with all those trees but worth considering. It is the curly bits around the roof that do it for me.
