My Life's Ambition

I can't make up my mind on whether it is to live in a house on the beach or to live in a house on the beach with a pool.
But I'm leaning against the pool. (If you have a goal in life, might just as well make it big.)
I think we're going to have to move to the States for a while.
The pool thing, I can't really see it happening in Svedmyra.
Do you have any life ambitions?
Or a life list?
I think I'm going to have to revisit mine.
The pool goes on top.

PS. This photo is from our week in Porthleven, Cornwall. We had sun for about ten hours that week, but boy, those ten hours were good.
