I know what you mean about mountains and sea. Living close enough to the mountains here to be able to be in amongst them within 30 minutes and by the sea within 45 minutes is brilliant. I'm happy to spend all day just walking, running or motorcycling in the mountains given the chance.

Currently I'm following Voltaire's chosen method of dealing with the world and spending time on the garden.

I'm a 5 min walk from the sea, and I see it every day.

No mountains in Suffolk, but sometimes it does have big skies in the summer, but not like the mountains

That quote is pretty much spot on.

It's from a song on this album, "A Moon to hang coats on."

If I want mountains & sea, I go to my villa in Turkey. It is at the foot of a 1,969 metre mountain and 10 minutes from the famous lagoon at Olu Deniz. The world paragliding championship is held off the mountain every October, with the gliders landing below on the esplanade.
