Inside Dawn French's quiet life after ditching £6.6m mansion

The actress sold her home in 2021 for £6.6million. She's an icon known for her roles in the The Vicar of Dibley and French and Saunders, but now, Dawn French has traded showbiz for a quieter life closer to the Devon-Cornwall border. The 67 year old decided to leave behind the picturesque town of Fowey when it reportedly became "too cool and trendy" for her liking. Dawn called Cornwall home for nearly 20 years, however the actress has bid farewell to her 15-bedroom manor house with stunning views after putting it on the market for an impressive £6.6 million in 2021 – tripling her initial investment from 2006. ‌ The star was born in Wales but left her substantial property in search of a more peaceful setting within the quieter parts of the Duchy. Dawn now enjoys the tranquillity of a secluded Cornish village with her husband Mark Bignell, with stunning waterside views far from the hustle and bustle that descend on Fowey during peak season, writes The Mirror. ‌ In 2006, Dawn moved into a Grade-II listed house in Fowey with her then-husband Sir Lenny Henry and their daughter Billie, before their marriage came to an end in 2010. She then went on to tie the knot in 2013 with her current husband, Mark, a therapist, and decided to stay in their shared home. The much-loved comedian has become an advocate for Cornwall's breathtaking scenery and its culinary scene, frequently praising local eateries for their "unpretentious" atmosphere and delicious food. Dawn often shares a lot of her life online and often walks on Par Beach, which is not only picturesque but also dog-friendly, making it a perfect spot for walks with her beloved pet. One of Dawn's favourite spots for a meal out is Edie's Kitchen in Carlyon Bay, just a short distance from where she used to live. ‌ She took to social media to praise it as the pinnacle of her dining experiences that year, lauding the restaurant for its "unpretentious, fresh, tasty good-lookin' grub". In September 2018, national treasure Dawn caused a stir among patrons at Edie's Kitchen when she popped in during the filming of the third series of her hit show Delicious. The Hidden Hut in Portscatho is another gem Dawn holds dear, hailed as one of Cornwall's hidden treasures. It has received praise from celebrities like Rick Stein and Alice Levine and even played host to global leaders during the G7 Summit in 2021. ‌ Back in 2017, Dawn posted a stunning photo of a misty morning walk on Par Beach with her cherished dog. Dawn, known for her irresistible charm and sharp humour, took to Twitter in 2019 to flaunt her affection for Cornwall with a playful jab. Alongside a photo featuring her pet against the picturesque coastal scenery, she quipped: "Cornwall. Ghastly." Fast forward to 2024, and property prices in Cornwall have skyrocketed, with the average home now fetching £299,000, stats from the Office for National Statistics reveal.

Dawn French's life in one of UK's quietest villages after leaving £6.6m mansion

Dawn French has been a fixture in Cornwall for almost two decades and has shared some delightful insights into her coastal life with husband Mark Bignell in recent years Dawn French, famed for her roles in The Vicar of Dibley and French and Saunders, has t raded her coastal view for a quieter spot closer to the Devon-Cornwall border. Her decision came as the picturesque town of Fowey became "too cool and trendy" for her liking. Having made Cornwall her home nearly 20 years ago, French has been delighting fans with glimpses into her life by the sea. She said goodbye to her 15-bedroom manor house with stunning estuary views in Fowey, after selling it for an impressive £6.6 million in 2021 – tripling her initial investment from 2006. ‌ Born in Wales, Dawn left her substantial property in search of a more tranquil setting within the quieter parts of the Duchy. Dawn now enjoys the tranquillity of a secluded Cornish village with her husband Mark Bignell, savouring waterside views far from the crowds of tourists that descend on Fowey during peak season, reports Devon Live. ‌ Back in 2006, Dawn moved into a Grade-II listed house in Fowey with her then-husband Sir Lenny Henry and their daughter Billie, before they split in 2010. In 2013, Dawn tied the knot with her current husband, Mark, a therapist, and decided to remain in their shared home. The much-loved comedian has become an advocate for Cornwall's breathtaking scenery and its culinary scene, frequently praising local eateries for their "unpretentious" atmosphere and scrumptious food. ‌ Dawn often injects her trademark humour into posts about her life in Cornwall, sharing snaps of idyllic yet less well-known locations such as Par Beach, which is not only picturesque but also dog-friendly, making it a perfect spot for walks with her beloved pet. One of Dawn's favourite spots for a meal out is Edie's Kitchen in Carlyon Bay, just a short distance from where she used to live.

"I Don't Even Remember When I Had It Last": Older Adults Are Recalling The Major Things They Didn't Cherish When They Were Younger, And As A Millenial, This Was Important To Hear

As we get older, it's normal to start reminiscing about the old days. So when Reddit user u/Intelligent711 asked: "What do you regret not appreciating more when you were younger?" a lot of people shared their very vulnerable answers. Here's what some of them said below. 1. "The simple joys of being carefree — like long summer days and endless playtime!" 3. "My parents' youth. Mom's 70 now, and it's incredibly hard to see her slow down." 5. "Being able to sleep was something I took utterly for granted. I miss those days so much." Mavocado / Getty Images 6. "The freedom to do absolutely nothing and not feel guilty about it. Adult responsibilities are a whole different game." — u/Juicy_Tits0032 7. "Time spent with friends who have since drifted away. We thought we'd always be together, but life had other plans." — u/Delicious_Tits003 "This. I feel grief sometimes at the lost friendships. People who I thought would always be in my life consistently are just gone." — u/MaynardButterbean 8. "Time with my grandparents. I was just so fucked up and couldn't see how much they loved me, WANTED me around, and protected me. I wish so badly I could tell them both that they changed my life and thank them for everything and how I miss Grandpa playing us trumpet in the morning and at night. I miss the way my grandma's hug felt and her bad cooking and watching Are You Being Served? with them after dinners. I wish I had understood that time isn't something you can get back, and when they're gone, there's just an empty space where they used to sit on the couch. Please don't waste your time with people who love you, it sounds obvious but it wasn't to me." — u/nigel_bongberry 9. "How much potential I really did have. I just lacked self-confidence. I'm trying to instill that in my children right now. One in particular. The fear of failure is real for everyone, but so is actually FAILING. EVERYONE fails. Nothing worthwhile is accomplished easily. It took me almost forty years to learn that." 11. "The food my family made. I always thought it was boring because we had it almost every single day, but now I'm starting to miss it." 12. "I was always clever, but for some reason, I was ashamed of it. Being academically gifted was somehow uncool. So I dumbed myself down and dicked around and kind of didn't fulfill my potential." — u/fewerifyouplease 13. "Where I lived. It's so easy to find a reason to hate wherever you are. But at the end of the day, you still live there. Might as well try to appreciate the good things about it."

Calling The Split fans! 'Paused' spinoff series gets an exciting update

It's good news for The Split fans, with spinoff series The Split Up reportedly moving forward on production. A spinoff of the popular legal drama was announced by the BBC last February, but in September, Deadline reported that the broadcaster had "paused indefinitely" on the project. In an exciting update, Broadcast Now has now reported that The Split Up is currently in pre-production, with filming due to start this October. Related: The Split Up will be filmed and set in Manchester and, similar to the original series, will follow a family of legal experts: the Kishans. "Kishan Law is a British-Asian high net worth family law firm in Manchester, noted for its clientele and its reputation," the official synopsis states. "They are the 'go to firm' for Manchester's elite, who come to them for their excellence, integrity, and discretion. "But the future and legacy of Kishan Law hangs in the balance when a family secret from the past comes to light, throwing their professional and personal lives into turmoil." Related: The Split creator Abi Morgan is involved with the spinoff series but hasn't penned the script. Instead, Ursula Rani Sarma has written the series – whose recent credits include Sky's dark comedy series Delicious. During an interview with Digital Spy in December last year, Morgan was asked about a possible crossover with The Split and The Split Up, and she didn't rule out the suggestion. "Yeah, I think we're talking about that," she told us. "I think it will be a show that will very much stand on its own, but invariably, it's lovely to have built that audience, and we're excited to see that audience hopefully come to the new version of the show. Who knows?" The Split Up doesn't have a release window on BBC One and BBC iPlayer yet. at at Pandora at at at at at Apple at at at You Might Also Like PS5 consoles for sale – PlayStation 5 stock and restocks: Where to buy PS5 today?

New on Netflix in March 2025: Every movie and TV show, including pivotal Manson family documentary

Spring is en route – and while it might (hopefully) be getting warmer outside, Netflix has plenty of options to keep you fixed to your sofa. Among the highlights for March, which will see the removal of Netflix's 'best' original film, are new adventure film The Electric State starring Millie Bobby Brown, a new Meghan Markle cookery series previously delayed due to the Los Angeles wildfires, and one-shot drama Adolescence from Boiling Point duo Stephen Graham and Philip Barantini. This month, Errol Morris, who directed seminal true-crime documentary The Thin Blue Line (1988), will also release his latest, which sees him question 'the complex narrative of the Manson family murders' by 'challenging the official accounts of the most infamous killing spree of the 1960s'. Morris told Netflix: 'I've found myself trapped in a number of different true-crime stories, and the Manson murders are peculiar. You could encapsulate the mystery in just one question: How is it that Manson managed to convince the people around him that killing was OK?' Below, we've run through every movie and TV show set to be released on Netflix in March 2025. The Independent compiled this list with assistance from What's on Netflix.
