We've had an offer on the house and we've made an offer ourselves-on a house in Sheerness on the Isle of Sheppey. 

We now enter a period of uncertainty. Anything or everything could fall through. Nothing has been signed, no money has changed hands. 

The house in Sheerness is about the same age as this one and a little smaller. The big selling point is that you cross the road, climb over the flood defences and there's the sea...

search on google produces
aheppeyscum.com which as the name
suggests is an odd sort of site...
is it a problem to be more isolated
from London etc? a friend is buying
a house in Spain for future retirement
in the mountains and it is a good buy
but I am not sure he will want to
actually live there without New York
just nearby...but this is certainly
beautiful...the sea just there
perhaps richer than a city...

ah called up map

but having called up a map
it looks in fact not remote.

I explored sheppeyscum the other night. It came close to putting me right off the move.

The island is isolated- but only by the standards of the South of England (where everything is squashed up close together).
