I have been fortunate in that I have lived and worked in some fascinating places all over the world.
To me ,they all have their attractions but London remains the greatest city on the planet but being born there makes me highly biased. However, it is where I consider home.
What I have found is that I am drawn to the countryside/ coast more and more as I get older me I do think that the Vale of Glamorgan/ Llantwit Major has most of what I would want plus a ready made social life, as so many old school friends have returned there in the last few years.
That said , I am married to a Parisian so I fear that is where I will end up.
