Let's get the ball rolling - why do you like living here? Let us all know your 'pros and con's of our village. What makes it special to you and what do you think needs improvement?

Personally, having only been a 'local' for just over 3 years now, I can only say that the place is fantastic.
Everyone I have come in contact with, either personally or in business has been welcoming and friendly.

Pros: The weather (cool sea breezes on hot summer days keeps it far more comfortable than town) - the facilities (well, we have almost everything here we need don't we?) - the beach and river of course!
Cons: None that I can think of except the painful drive into town for the big supermarket shop!
