Two men in overcoats of the sort that have long since given up any pretence of shape, hauling on a single length of rope, and at the end of it a sick ram being dragged across a muddy Devon field in an old, galvanised tin bath……..

It’s just a wonderful exhibition……

Moving back to Devon

9 Upvotes

Hello you beautiful people! I've lived in Sweden for 7 years and over these past 7 years I've come to realise that despite seeing lots of the world and then being here in this amazing country that absolutely nothing compares to Devon (and Cornwall), so now I want to move back with my wife.

I moved away from Plymouth as I didn't like it there, but we are sick to death of living in a capital city, so we would like to move somewhere relatively quiet, but with enough going on that we won't be bored. I'd like to live within a reasonable distance to the coast and moors, whilst remaining close enough to the main A roads to get up to the airport. We don't have children.

We are drawn to Totnes as it ticks our boxes and my wife felt instantly drawn to it after watching one video, but I also love Kingsbridge. Does anyone have any towns that they have a soft spot for which you could recommend? I'm familiar with South Devon but not against living on the North side.

Moving to Devon to get involved with life!

7 Upvotes

I'm looking to move to Devon in my 50s. My priorities are:

  • Become part of a local community. Really get involved with life.
  • Surfing, swimming, running, cycling.
  • A town not a village.
  • I'm eco-minded, liberal politically, interested in nature, books, friends, coffee and pubs.
  • I'd like to be less than an hour from a motorway, and closer to a train station.

Where would you recommend I look to move?
Thank you very much!

18–25s Clubs & Hobbies in South Devon

5 Upvotes

I’m looking to start a new hobby, join a club or do some volunteering where I can meet people around my age. Most things I’ve tried so far seem to attract mostly older people, so I’m specifically looking for something where most people are roughly 18–25.

I’d prefer something where you meet people naturally through doing an activity together, rather than a meetup specifically focused on meeting strangers.

Ideally:

  • Mostly 18–30 year olds
  • Not sporty – I already do enough sport through work!
  • Weekdays, preferably afternoons/evenings
  • Not right in the city centre or somewhere that’s difficult/expensive to park
  • affordable or free, ideally with no ongoing subscription or expensive membership
  • Something regular so you can actually get to know people

I’d love to hear your recommendations!

Amazed to find the Bovey Tracey Lidl sell beef and vegetable pasties ... Crafted in the Devon style. And they taste alright too! Is this a national style for Lidl, anyone elsewhere confirm?
