I'm another Sue,
I'm from Wigan originally but lived in Scottish Borders for 34 yrs.
We live right out in the Berwickshire countryside with fabulous views across to the Cheviots. I love the peace and quiet and usually the only sound is birds chirping & tractors working somewhere in the fields....until our 2 Yorkies start barking !!!!!!
I would love to live somewhere with a sea view ...preferably on The Isle of Man (where my husbands family were from).

Hi All. I'm originally from Surrey but now living in Malmö, Sweden. Got here via Kent, Ayrshire, North Yorkshire and Moray. Joan, I miss the Dales too. Of all my ports of call along the way, Yorkshire is the one in my heart.
