The Good Life is..... and Win a Holiday Worth GBP 3,000!

Holiday lovers are being offered the chance to win a holiday worth £3,000 - thanks to a new competition being hosted by McCarthy & Stone on a Facebook app. Why not take advantage of an extraordinary opportunity from the UK''s leading providers of retirement apartments to fly away on a dream destination; simply by defining what ''the good life'' means to you. This concept could be summed up by a single sentence, a name of a song, a picture, a poem or anything that sparks the imagination. No matter how simple or complex the idea, all entries are shortlisted by an independent panel of judges meaning that the lucky competition winner will be headed for the time of their lives.

For many the first thing that will spring to mind will be classic sitcom ''The Good Life'' - one of the most popular television shows of the 1970s! Tom and Barbara Goods'' quest to become self-sufficient and the corresponding horrified reactions of the Leadbetters, their conventional neighbours, delighted the nation and demonstrated divergent views on what a fulfilling life equates to for different people. For the Goods, this meant allotments and livestock and attempting to make their own clothes, for the Leadbetters, it was about dinner parties and the golf-club.

The good life is more than just the name of a TV programme however; it can mean many distinctive things to people of all ages. Everyone has their own idea of what the good life means to them. We want to celebrate that so, share with us your idea of the good life. It could be a quote, a picture, anything - you decide. Just log on to Facebook, search for McCarthy & Stone click ''Like'' and upload your entry to our specially designed Facebook app.
