Now almost all our income is internet based, we are on the verge of relocating from West Wales to Brittany. Having lived here for over 20 years, the recent run of soggy summers, and winters which switch between rain and frost, has got us down. We're hoping to find somewhere with shorter winters, better summers and less rain but reading the posts on some threads I am beginning to wonder if Brittany is any better!
We have horses so need a climate where they will be comfortable, and I don't like it too hot either, so a northern climate is fine. The rainfall stats for Brittany show half the rainfall we have here but I need reasurance that it actually is drier day to day and we won't just be moving to a windy permadrizzle zone!
We are totally flexible on location but have been thinking of the Pontivy region, for the lovely landscapes and off road riding.
Any advice from those of you who with year round experience would be great.
