By the Sea?

[MoleTrapper]

Bit of a double edged sword, when we were looking for a place our most important credentials were it had to have fertile ground and enough of it, must be as far from town as possible. We wanted to be near enough to the sea because of the food potential but not too close because of rising sea levels and tsunami threat etc, obviously also nearer the sea more people.
Theory is as we are all aware after an "event" survivors will gravitate towards the sea, apparently history has proved this.
In terry nations book survivors they did this with the notion that heading across to the continent and traveling down to italy or Greece would give a better chance of a life as opposed to just surviving brought about by a kinder climate.
Must admit that the idea was quite an appealing one, but on giving it a lot more thought came to the conclusion that being a refugee in your own country was bad enough, but where you are an outsider, hmm, not good as a first choice.
Living close enough to the sea though it would give you that option if things looked like getting any bleaker.
So after wittering on "sorry" yes we decided it was for the better, we are four miles, so close enough but not too close, hopefully!
