Hi! It has now been more than three years since looking into moving to Cornwall, so I really can’t advise on the job situation, particularly as the recession wasn’t happening then. Look online at the Cornish Guardian website at the jobs available.
As far as being accepted; I really don’t think you have to worry. The number of people with Cornish accents are far outnumbered by those who don’t. In fact, you are more likely to find that people are far friendlier in Cornwall. There were also rumours about moving to a Somerset village, but we’ve been nothing but welcomed here.
Good luck with the move!

Hi – I am not sure if you are still checking this and replying as the last reply was in 2011, me and my husband desperately want to move to Cornwall, we have had holidays there for many years and really want to change our lives and move from Nottingham to somewhere near Newquay. we dont have any children so we would only have ourselfs to support, we would want to rent not buy so there is not so much pressure. My main worry is jobs and being accepted, i have heard stories about locals not accepting outsiders. Is this really the case or just people just trying to wind me up

Comment on Plastering Rain’s bedroom by Peter

Modern plaster is lots easier to use. When I first started out plastering over 20 years ago it was harder to get the same smooth finish that you do today. Modern plaster has a self leveling compound to make it better.

I cant believe £300 for a Chimney Sweep, i just had mine done (first time in at least 3 years) and paid £40 for a professional job well done. My sweep used an industrial Vacum cleaner with Hepi filters – not a single grain of soot dust anywhere on my cream carpet or walls and all done and dusted in 30 minuets – magic

I LOVE the film Dirty Dancing, and would love to go see the musical. Shame it’s no-where near me though, so I’ll just have to hope it comes this way soon!

Comment on We’re getting central heating!!! by Helen

Hi!
I’m sorry, we bought a Rayburn in the end because it had the highest output and we have quite a large house to heat. I did do a lot of research though and I did manage to find some reviews of the Broseley Thermo Suprema and were all very good. It will give out plenty of heat for a 3 bed house; so I’d say go for it! There are of course advantages and disadvantages that you get with any wood fired cooker/boiler; just do a Rayburn search on the top of my site to find all my posts about it; or flick through my Moving and Improving pages and you’ll find them.
Best wishes
H

Hi Helen,
My husband and I live in Tasmania, Australia and we are considering importing a Broseley Thermo Suprema, as all the other wood cookers here are too inefficient and to quote you “Dog ugly”.
Could you please let us know how your cooker has worked out?
The only information I can get is advertising garb off the net because no one sells Broseley’s in Australia, so I would love to hear from anyone who actually owns one.
We are planning to heat 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and the living room with radiators and the cooker will heat the kitchen/Dining room – well, thats the plan anyway.
So, whats great about your Broseley, and probably more importantly, what is not great about it?

Thank you Chris! What sort of dragons do you make? Not the big one that sadly left the sacred space this year?
