It's just that most places in the Netherlands are still quite far from the mainland ferry ports...

And then bought an old farmhouse in dire need of renovating.

Because at least I can paint and drill and tear out walls and make it any colour I want.

And its ours. So any improvments we make to it are also ours.

Greece has a lot of beaches and houses with gardens not fqr from them. Bulgaria has a very short coastline, but if a sea is not required, the rest of thr country is very picturesque and not as hot as Greece. Our new political power on top of the country is a bit troubling though.

We are on the far west side looking out over the polders. There's some older places in russicheburt and the like that are pretty nice, but old enough to be concerned about the foundations at our price range (€400k ish in 2023).

You can have a sunny day that just turns to rain and wind, and then decides on sunshine again.

We often joke we have 4 seasons: autumn, fall, winter and spring πŸ˜…

But in all honesty i feel like we usually do have some brilliant summer and spring days. But it's all in what your tastes are of course. If what you want is really just lots of sun. Then there's no point in being in northern Europe

We like west Zaandam well enough. They've been building a lot of flats around the core, and last I checked they were even verging on affordable.

Can still get a direct train to Amstel when I have the need to go to the office, but it is definitely a different pace while being close to Amsterdam.

Well, I'd suggest Denmark. Jylland in particular has many small villages with (relatively) cheap houses and apartments.

But the Sun thing kind of spoils it. Yes, we do have lovely sunny days, like today for instance (or the entire week with the exception of yesterday) but we consider 20 Β°C to be a warm day, and 25 Β°C to be quite hot, and any warmer to approach unbearable πŸ˜›

This is where I'm at currently and I feel your pain 😞

Put roots down somewhere affordable (therefore up North in the UK) and hope Reform don't get into power and climate change makes the weather up there tolerable, or find somewhere non-EU (thanks Brexit) that tolerates British people... or just blow everything on a boat and worry about it later πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Good public transport, bike routes, and general infrastructure, good food, good restaurants and so forth (not that I get out much with 3 kids but I try), good summer weather, excellent biking and mountains close by.

We live on the edge of Vienna and have the best of both worlds - open space and nature, a big climbing wall 15m away, water sports on the Danube, and all the arts that Vienna has.

I don’t know how it compares cost wise to NL ofc
