Hello again Kate smile

gwendy hello, my DH Aunt has just moved into Richmond from one of the small villages where the bus routes had been taken away and being alone was isolated, even the small shop had gone. She can now wander across to the shops and seems to have settled well.

Thanks all for the welcome hellos, we moved to Orkney 5 years ago from Stockton but now the lure of GC are calling us back. It is absolutely beautiful here and I work in the community as a nurse so am out and about, but miss my chicks too much to stay.

Welcome Mobell - I live on the remote Kintyre peninsula, overlooking the sea to the islands of Islay and Jura.

And having driven past your house several times last summer, soop, I WANT TO LIVE THERE!!! It`s such a beautiful place.

PRINTMISS Sun 29-Apr-12 08:47:55

Well I live here in an extremely wet and windy at the moment Bognor Regis. Not everyone's cup of tea, but we can reach the beach and watch the waves in twenty minutes (like doing that on wet and windy days!) and we have the fantastic Sussex Downs at our back; we can drive into them and enjoy the views on a nice day.

soop Sun 29-Apr-12 12:48:38

number Next time you are about to drive on by - don't - come on in and have a brew wine or, if you're lucky, and I know you're about to visit a cupcake something that I try not to have in the cupboard because when it comes to cupcake I'm dead addicted blush grin

numberplease Sun 29-Apr-12 17:17:53

Soop, we looked every time we went past in case you were in the garden, so we could stop and say hello, we weren`t sure about intruding by knocking on your door. We won`t be up there this coming summer, but hoppefully next year.xx
