Escape to the Country Season 18 Episode 49: Cornwall (2017) | FULL EPISODE 

Thank you for finding the words which have failed me… The man is my poem, unwritten ❤😂🎉(BTW… I intend to join Alistair’s meditation class)

Yes, 💯!

We'v done it 9 times & enjoyed them all. Two of the moves were to France....where I wish we could have stayed !

Two years ago I sold up, downsized, and moved to Hawai'i. The best thing I have done in years.

That sounds good 👍@@lisal4824

I think he's high.

Let us hope so 😋@@angerjane

​@@angerjanehaha his hair was a bit messy at the start not like him and he was more animated than usual. Love him and loved the family of house hunters wish them well

Lovely family! I hope they find the home they wish for!

The photos of them when they first met and wedding day were very sweet. Very lovely

A budget is a budget I suppose. Good for them for realising they shouldn't take on extra debt. Even though the house was, as you say, perfect.

In Cornwall 30 min commute is very different to more urban areas in the UK.

@@KathysFlog Maybe so, but I drove an hour or more to work each way for 30 years.

@@KathysFlog Try 30 mins in Alaska. 30 mins is 30 mins no matter what the road conditions (and they can vary with the weather) and is not that far at all. I wonder about this young guy's ability to be independent if he can't be more than 30 minutes away from home when he is at college.

​@@susanharris5926In England college means a sixth form college, not university. He's still a minor. At university of course he'll be independent. In my day most of us chose universities a long way from home. It was all part of the university experience.

@@carolinewiggins2803 Well things have changed I guess since I lived in England. I am English by the way. 6th form was a continuation of grammar school and, yes, you were still at home. However, there used to be colleges after the 6th, for teacher training for example distinct from university. Nevertheless, I used to travel at least 20 minutes on the bus to get to school when in the 6th and I don't see how this could be a big deal for him. 30 minutes commute is nothing.

I came here to echo this. It's thirt.een. miles. Kid's going to college. You're not holding his hand, walking him to kindy-garten anymore fer crissake. But lovely couple and all 3 great houses. I love Cornwall episodes.

​@@kentlatimer3706College in England means sixth form college, not university. He's 15.

@@carolinewiggins2803 Ah. Gotcha. I have frequently noticed an interesting economy of scale on this show. Sometimes an amazing, box-ticking house will be vetoed because it's 30 minutes from other family, and that's too far. Other times someone working in London will look up to *an hour and a half* commute. Even in the US, where things are typically more spread out, that would be considered extreme.

​@@kentlatimer3706 I suppose it all depends on the person in the end as to what is considered an acceptable commute. There's no railway station in Porkellis, so if his parents don't give him a lift to the nearest station he would have to catch a bus and goodness knows how regular they would be in a rural location like that. Plus he's a teenager and getting up very early probably wouldn't be a vote winner! As for me, I'm 61 and only started commuting in my late fifties here in Japan. I'm living my life backwards in so many ways😀I catch a bus which takes half an hour to the station, catch a train for 20 minutes and then walk about 15 minutes. Coming back takes longer because the buses are an hour or more apart. But I love it. I have the added bonus of seeing an osprey once or twice a day for half the year as we rattle over the river. Everyone else has their heads in their smartphones, plus not many people are interested in birds here, so it's my own personal, much-awaited highlight of the commute!❤. Happy New Year to you in Canada!🎉

Most are 2 lane country roads probably able to go 30-40 km/h & maybe 20 if going thru a town.
