Do you live in or near SUNNINGHILL

I'm thinking of relocating from elsewhere in Berkshire. What are your thoughts on Sunninghill? Activities? Bus routes? nearest supermarkets? Groups? U3A? Any thoughts you may care to contribute? TIA

No. But I went to a terrific party in Sunninghill back in the early 80’s. It was June but it was a Christmas party with the whole drive and roof decked out in artificial snow.

Wasn`t that where Prince Andrew and Fergie lived?

😂😂. His name was Derek but I am unable to recall his surname. It’s very close to Virginia Water which is lovely to visit.

why don't you just google it? or are you mentioning Sunninghill for a different reason queenie2

Queenie2 Thu 29-Dec-22 00:20:09

Dear Lemsip. The info that is thrown up by Google is in no way personal. It is only generic. Still hopeful

The White Bus services a limited route to Windsor from Monday to Saturday via The Great Park.
The nearest supermarket would be Waitrose in Sunningdale or a Sainsbury Local in Ascot on the High Street.

I can’t help with clubs as the last one I went to there was The Brownies!

Andrew and Fergie lived in Sunninghill Park which was a couple of miles away from the village.

My GC live 2.5 hours away. I need to downsize and thinking of moving near to them albeit about 10-15 miles away. I would value some opinions , suggestions and experiences. .

Is Berkshire so big that you can drive 2.5 hours and still be within the county? 2.5 hours from Sunninghill, but you already live in Berkshire anyway?
Come off it, OP, how do you explain this away?
Why am I bothered?
I don’t know, but I do know that I don’t like to see kind Grans taken advantage of when they offer genuine suggestions and help to what no looks to be no more than a bit of a wind-up. If on the other hand these two enquiries are entirely unrelated and separate I sincerely apologise, but would have expected you to come back before now to make things clear.
Queenie, Berkshire - Windsor perhaps? tcrconfused

Do people in Sunninghill use buses?

Germanshepherdsmum Sat 21-Jan-23 20:54:55

Well, NotAGran said there is a bus service. I guess some people living there might need public transport. No acknowledgement from the OP though which seems very bad mannered to me when help has been given,

NotAGran55 Sat 21-Jan-23 22:19:47

Have you given up on Sunninghill Queenie2 and decided to move closer to your family 2.5 hours away?
It can’t be Berkshire as it would take less than an hour to drive from one end of the county to the other, or the rest of your life by bus!
You also mentioned living near to a city and we don’t have one in Berkshire 🤷🏼‍♀️?

Germanshepherdsmum Sat 21-Jan-23 22:31:55

Hmmm …

ixion Sat 21-Jan-23 22:32:37

Do you think there's a lack of clarity from Q2?
Perhaps he/she meant to say 'relocating from elsewhere to Berkshire'?

Germanshepherdsmum Sat 21-Jan-23 22:33:18

Possibly. Only s/he can say.

MawtheMerrier Sat 21-Jan-23 22:45:20

Ah well, we shall have to remain in the dark confused and wish Queenie well in her move wherever it is to, (Windsor? Frogmore?) tcrsmiletcrsmile

I think you have read this all wrong Maw The Merrier
The date on this OP is 1st Dec and the one you mention is 19th Jan so Queenie is asking again for any details.
If you read the OP at the top a different way, it doesn’t mean that she already lives in Berkshire.It’s just badly worded.
Thinking of moving from elsewhere to Berkshire instead of in would have been more clear.
From the two OP’s shown it doesn’t sound at all like a wind up to me, sounds like a genuine interest in what it’s like in the area.

Soz, didn’t see your post.We are thinking alike.smile

Oreo Sun 22-Jan-23 09:39:12

I can’t help as don’t live near, but Reading is a big place with loads of shops and clubs, Windsor is lovely but obvs touristy.

Germanshepherdsmum Sun 22-Jan-23 09:40:43

You can’t change the wording of a post to give it a totally different meaning!

Oreo Sun 22-Jan-23 09:44:52

Of course you can.A quickly out together question can often come out wrong.

Oreo Sun 22-Jan-23 09:45:49

See what I did there😆 and yes, it was a mistake.Put not out.

ExperiencedNotOld Sun 22-Jan-23 09:45:49

Perhaps in the intervening three weeks or so, Queenie2 realised that some (regular) contributors have to make an argument wherever possible. What prompted yesterday’s attack at 20.23 yesterday Mawthemerrier? Please tell!

FannyCornforth Sun 22-Jan-23 10:06:26

Don’t ask! 😣

Sarah75 Sun 22-Jan-23 10:07:29

It would help all round if the OP returned!

glammagran Sun 22-Jan-23 12:13:55

Having lived in various towns in Berkshire I could well believe it could take a couple of hours to drive from Slough to Hungerford.
