I did go down to Cornwall just before emigrating to Australia. Just to satisfy myself that Cornwall wasn't whst I wanted.
I had the connections. With hindsight I got that wrong.
First 5 years we were here it filled me with dread going back 'up country' for visits. These days I enjoy our breaks back to 'civilisation'. A lot of people move here and can't fit in, perceive hostility toward them or end up just plain bored and end up moving back.
Don't get me wrong, I love it here and am fortunate to have made a lot of friends but you can feel a bit cut off at times, I do enjoy my visits back to the hustle and bustle.
