moving from Manchester to Poole

I know that its not moving to within the magic latitude so wouldn't be a cure, but I'm stuggling to decide if its worth it. Does anyone think it'ld really make a noticeable difference?

My Dad lives on the Dorset coast and get's a wonderful amount of sunlight in his house and garden but it's more that the back of his house faces south so it's a real suntrap.

I don't think a move like that is going to be a magic bullet that will solve all your problems. If it's a move you are planning to make for other reasons then great but otherwise I'd think carefully about it.

If you're a SAD sufferer this isn't really a great time of year to be making life changing decisions...

Thanks for the replies.
I couldn't make the decission when the job came up in the summer, but I have to give 3 months notice anyway and the interview wont be till December, by the time I move, the sun will have returned.
Poole's not going to a cure though is it? Just a change in circumstances and opportunities for distraction, Manchester is winning on my for/against list at the moment - its not a giant inner city slum despite what some might think!

Manchester is the same as all cities I suppose. We have just come back from Prague and the hotel we stayed in was surrounded by buildings covered in grafitti etc. 10 mins metro ride away and I felt we were in the most beautiful city in the world.

I think living close to the sea may help. There is nothing more relaxing than walking or sitting by the sea, listening to the waves.....heaven. It would certainly help with my stress levels.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Long time no see clive, how have you been doing? Good to read you

HI clive nice to see you again, I used to live in the West country, the pace of life really is slow but very expensive to buy a house.

Hiya Clive, how are you doing? I'm not an outdoorsy person, but in spite of the weather I'm getting on pretty well. This time last year I was signed off work, so that in itself is a positive thing. I was recommended to take the med before I needed it to see if it would act as a preventer. It's worked... up to a point. No tears, but I still find I need a lot of sleep.
Keep going with the boat..... we back onto the Bridgewater Canal, pootle along and see us!
