Aunt Agatha Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Janlo my DH shares your love of Man City, he's so looking forward to going to some games and to watching 'Match of the Day'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy1982 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 looking forward to going to some games and to watching 'Match of the Day'! Really missed this too. I didn't used to go to many games but now not being able to is very restrictive. I watched match of the day last week on the internet and when I heard the theme tune I got goose bumps and a warm feeling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt Agatha Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 It's great isn't it! DH says he knew he wanted to marry me when we were out one night and I said "if we leave now we can get back for Match of the Day." :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourcorners Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Cornwall or Devon. In fact would be quite happy to move back to our house in Cornwall right now! Miss the beaches, lovely seaside towns, the coast path, the moors, pasties (of course!), great local produce and occasionally wild weather.

BritChickx Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Either a nice town in Hampshire, Cornwall or West Sussex. That's just going on the places i've been to before. I haven't seen that much of the UK to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sustain Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 You can't beat Bath. World heritage site, gorgeous buildings, beautiful scenery, stacks of cultural events & you can walk from one side to the other. 13 miles from Bristol, 1.5 hours from London, an hour from Cardiff. 1.5 from London? you sure Agree on others and to add: Rugby team University :wink: The roman baths recently (ok 8 or so years) updated Great bars and restaurants (from my uni days plenty of taxis when needed for up hill return journey) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gin100 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 1.5 hours on the train from London, definitely sure. Expect it's longer in the car but most people go by train to avoid the endless London traffic, the congestion charge & high parking costs. Yes, the Roman Baths are good, there's a fabulous spa using the natural hot waters with a swimming pool on the roof, the rugby & cricket grounds are in the middle of town (though the rugby team is a little past it's heyday but still premiership material), the university has been recently voted no.1 for student satisfaction, and there are lots of great bars & restaurants. And a good theatre. What's not to like? Oh yeah, those hills & the cost of living... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasepom Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I think we had to say why ?.......for me manchester has it all ..glorious countryside 20 mins, international airport 20 mins, 1000s of bar, clubs and theatres, family and Man city ! Chester has a lovely city centre with river boats, café culture and boutique nightclubs. It borders lovely Cheshire countryside, close to bigger cities but not blighted by poverty. Nice attractive areas to live in, amenities everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt Agatha Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Cheshire is lovely if a bit posh! We spent a few days in Knutsford on our last trip back to the UK and the park was full of nannies LOL But I loved the town itself, lots of nice shops and some great pubs and restaurants plus the incredible Tatton Park.

I suppose Knutsford can be a bit like that, Altrincham perhaps too. There are other parts of Cheshire that are more affordable though! I'm heading back to there and I can't wait!!!

Ellie 2 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 It would have to be Scotland. I would live in Edinburgh and have a wee "but 'n ben' near one of the beautiful beaches in western Highlands as a get away from it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Kash Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Definitely not Scotland for me. Waaaaaaay too cold. it is a bit nippy, especially up in NE Scotland but youd be surprised at the hours of sun and relatively dry conditions on the East Coast of Scotland. also, cold means skiing :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie 2 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 It is said that, if you can live in Edinburgh, with the dreadful winds coming straight off the North Sea you can live anywhere. Having been born and bred there I reckon that's pretty right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
