No probs Curve. IF you dont intend it being your primary home, and want to use it as a holiday resort, fine, more power to yer elbow.. we USED to dine 'out' all the time.. but it is so, so underated.. you find, wothput the complications of 'modern' life that time is actually on YOUR side.. you can COOK.. you can plan.. its more hte getting used to the fact that time is the thing you sought and payed for, and now.. well, it the thing you have surplus of. its a difficult concept.
The idea of 'dining out' is so naff now that we just dont do it... we can spend a day planning and cooking and still have TIME to spare.

Again, each to their own..

One word of advise if I may.. what you consider importnant and life changing NOW.. will oft' fade to insignificance in the future... be prepared.. many of the things you value are simple escapes from the the life you have persued.

When.. and if.. you realsie your goal.. they will be as boring as taking the kiddies to the park.
