Hi everyone, I have literally just joined and love your comments, currently in Barnsley (not up North) near Cirencester, anyone in the Cotswold area? smile wine

We need a UK map to place everyone on then you could see how close/far away everyone is to you!

Do you get together when you find someone not too far away? I hope you do envy.

Hi there In the middle of the Scottish Highlands - gorgeous scenery, peace and quiet, good for the soul and walking the dog! designer clothes no longer needed just great walking boots. Really cold in winter though and the price of diesel is unbelievable.

I left Birmingham when I was 17, nannyeileen, but, whenever I go back there I find the people so warm and friendly. I used to spend hours in the museum and art gallery [used to have nightmares about being locked in the mummy section]. Do you remember the fountain that used to change colour at night? And Bingley Hall..and the roof bit at Lewis's where you could buy ice cream?

I'm in County Durham, but have lived all over England so can't claim to have a authentic affinity to any county or town! But, apart from the weather, love living in the North East!
