Holiday homes have an evil evil reputation as killers of rural communities. There are exceptions to the rule. I'm willing to forgive poets their sins. Dannie Abse swapped London for Ogmore-by-Sea. He was a socialist & never managed to run two homes entirely without guilt. Norman McCaig had the same dual existence, trading coffee in Edinburgh for Assynt. He didn't want to possess the #land, but something else, more like love.
