A 'village' where you can wander down to the local cafe and catch up with friends or stay at home and escape from the world and well a view of the sea would really make it perfect.<br /><br />The only problem is I'm like you, and can happily lock myself away from the world for days on end. Although I think a lot of that comes from working with ppl all day long and needing to escape when I can.<br /><br />Oh and your question re living above your business? That would also be perfect for me. I Love working from home... no commuting.. a dream!! Just have a nice big 'Closed' sign for timeout!!<br /><br />Have a great new year Renee... I'm sitting brewing ideas on what I can do to get out of the rat race. Of course so far all my solutions require 'money' and the 'rat race' ha ha... it's a dilemma!! xx JulieJulie@beingRUBYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424920655462727594noreply@blogger.com
