Where are we all

Butty The Northumberland coast is a secret we like to keep to ourselves, you would love it, and we could have Northumberland meet ups

RINKY You make the Northumberland coast sound wonderful.

Rinky not that amazing when you consider that this thread has been on the go since May 2011 - the month when Gransnet started.

Rinky I think you meant to send your message to Butty, but I agree with you Northumberland is beautiful, we visited a lot when our son was based at R.A.F. Boulmer, think it is one of the top 5 of my loveliest places.

Wow. Just realised there are thirty one pages here. Amazing its filled up so fast

JAB. I would recommend Northumberland coast to live as beautiful, wild and windy. If you like warm and sunny probably not best place but for big skies and sheer raw radiance it's hard to beat.

I know I've put this before....

I'm in Hythe, at the bottom of the country just outside the New Forest, there don't seem to be many Gransnetters down this way? Would be great to meet up if there were.

Do we have anyone on the Isle of Wight? Only a quick ferry ride away

JAB just the thing to look forward to.

jeni andmaniac it would be great to meet up sometime but I can't make any arrangements for a while, as you may have seen from another thread I have to go into hospital to have a kidney removed, don't know when yet, but it leaves me rather tired, and specialist has warned I will take a couple of months recovering, so perhaps we could keep meeting up on hold for now, but it's a lovely thought and will give me something to look forward to.

rinky I will let you know when we get another meet up sorted.

Hey, glassortwo. Might have known you were in northeast with a nickname like that.!!
Love to join up if another meeting is arranged.

Thanks all! Work tomorrow!

Hi jeni welcome back! x

Glad to see you safely home Jeni, hope it was a good cruise.

Thanks and a lot cheaper than on cunard I might say!$100 for a bottle of Amorone!

Welcome home, jeni. x

JAB I lived in Street for a while when my sons were small. As we're hoping to return to England in the next year, (or so, finger's crossed) we think Somerset/Devon may be where we decide to buy.

If anyone can give me some convincing arguments about where else we might settle, I'd love to hear them.

jeni glad you're back safely.Hope you had a super time .
Meet soon.

Have friends who lived in Cat Brain Lane in Bristol.Used to have a singing gp at their house. They moved out to Frome when the Cribbs Causeway hypermarket developed.In Cambs.I lived near Six Mile Bottom..also a Two Mile Bottom nr Thetford.
I live in Backwell N Somerset-very near rail line to WSM so would be easy for us to meet sometime

Think I wrote this on another thread....but I'm from Devon.

JAB you're not far from me. I'm in Portishead and maniacand Barrow are between us.
My maiden initials were JAB, I changed them for JAW! I don't know which is worse.
Incidentally I gather the tribunals for whom I work will be sitting in w-s-m magistrates court soon. I expect they'll send me there as I'm the nearest. Perhaps we can meet?

JAB, I lost a pendant in the car park of the shopping outlet in Street, if you find a turquiose pendant, set in gold, it`s mine!

no one seems from my neck of the woods, ie Frinton on sea coastal town in Essex near Ipswich and Colchester woe is me

I am on Abingdon on Thames, Oxon - loverly (until the Thames/Isis floods, then not so wonderdful

Jenduham, there is a place just called Street here in Somerset, and there is a street of shops and a large outlet centre,really worth a visit if ever you are this way, it is also where Clarks shoes are made.
