'I live in UK's TV seaside paradise - but winters are so grim I spend them in Thailand'

Clive Gardner loves living in Looe - but spends the winter in Thailand (Image: Greg Martin / Cornwall Live) Many Brits would love to live in Cornwall 365 days a year, but one businessman has revealed his seasonal plans to jet off from the beautiful coastline. Clive Gardner, 71, came to Looe, in the south east of the county, in 1996 and runs Clive’s Cat’s Cartoons - a gallery and framers with a waffle hut - with his partner Mandy Rose. They live above the business, in the heart of Looe’s old town - until winter comes, and they leave Britain behind.

Cornwall may have a subtropical climate, with milder winters than the rest of the UK - but Clive and Mandy batten down the hatches at their home and business and - and head to truly tropical Thailand. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
