Why more are making the great move north

Victoria Watson and her husband, James, have lived in East Sussex for much of their lives — it’s where they went to school and their support network is there. Yet high living costs and the large mortgage on their flat in Lewes, where they live with their two young children, mean they can’t afford to go on living in the southern county.

America is far from perfect.

When Lidl launched in the UK in 1994, a shopping trip was like going abroad. The unfamiliar brands, the Germanic styling, the multilingual labels. It was all so foreign.

The silence in the flat was deafening. Having lost almost everything in my divorce, it was now just me in a basement studio flat with black mould. I had no TV, no sofa and the wifi wasn’t set up. I sat at a cheap folding table and made a list. Since my life was no longer going to be the way I had planned – marriage, kids, a dog, a late-Victorian terrace in a country town – I was going to try something else. I was going to do all the things on my...

We may be shrouded in black, grey and navy the rest of the year, but when the sun is out, nothing beats the crisp freshness of white, ivory and cream.
