I’m looking to move house and am having great difficult deciding where to go.
One of many factors is what the immediate area is like, and might there be a better view from the windows, or at least a view nearby you could go and look at repeatedly. For example, should I go to a seaside town so that I can sit and look at a view of the sea?
The above photo shows a view from my hotel balcony, on a little trip I went on last year. (I’ll leave you to guess where it is.)
This view taught me something about views! Namely, they may be nice and impressive and interesting the first time, or the first few times. But after you’ve been looking at the same view for a week, it just becomes boring, like a looking at a picture – doesn’t it?
So if I buy a house by the sea, for the view – won’t I quickly get bored with it? I don’t know the answer.
