Where would you live in the UK.....!!!

[jmg1]

Considering the people, schools, amenities, shops, bars, restaurants, traffic, surrounding countryside where would you choose for you and your kids to live in the UK + why?

Nantwich in Cheshire, love it.

Meant 'am I'!

Not far from me Secondhandrose!

no GDG - I will go check my email

Have to agree with Hatter. Lived in Oxford for 12 years (if you count being a student) and every time I go back it feels like home.

Hackney!

Hi again Fisil, I looked a couple of years ago and was devastated to find out that house prices in North Oxford are the same as round here. We were kind of hoping that moving there would be a step down. there's no way we could earn the same so no, can't afford it (yet!)either

Im in Solihull - 10 mins from Bham International, less for the countryside, 20 mins or so into Brum etc etc.

GDG - Ive replied to your email - thanks

I am quite near Nantwich.

Are you marthamoo - didn't realise there were people 'near' me. Never come across anyone! I'm not in Nantwich but close.

Why oh why didn't we buy in Oxford all those years ago when it was far less fashionable?

Secondhandrose - are you in Nantwich or you'd like to live there?

you can be smug when your shower finally have some silverware worth bragging about jmg

So come on, where would you consider moving, and what is important to you? Are you the type who would hate being in the middle of nowhere or do you need to be within striking distance of good coffee shops, bars etc?

JJ - how are you enjoying Victoria Park, btw?

can i stay here (WGC) and then buy a 2nd home in the lake district, tho dh wouldnt be able to enjoy that one, tho likes the area, so maybe a coastal town not too over run with tourists.

Well CD, I have to be smug when I get the opportunity cause you could be on top again next week!.
I loved living in Chelsea and it feels like home but we decided to move for the kids so we picked a place with great schools, countryside, plenty of shops, restaurants + easy to get into London but not long after we moved Dp died and I am finding it very hard to meet people. I have lived in Wales, the South, the North, the Midlands + London. Late DP was Scottish. I seem to click better with people from the North/ Scotland/Ireland. Am thinking of near Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle or Scotland but have turned into a southern softie when it comes to the colder climate up North.
Good schools is important, and friendly people. If good bars, restaurants, shops + nice countryside are nearby that is a bonus.
So in other words I don't know!

Come and live here - we have all those things!!!

I've also got a great network of friends with kids and you are welcome to join us!

Thats really nice Gobbledigook!

Wales again jmg? I cna vouch that it's lovely and friendly

Hi JMG . I think you should still think about Italy. Get you and the smucnkins enrolled in some lessons and in 6 months, you'll be ready just in time for the summer hols.

I meant smunchkins of course!

and only an hour or so from the chester, 1 1/2 from manchester

Delgirl how are things going?

Great ta! 16 weeks and counting or should I say 24 and counting? How are you and yours?

Pixiefish - when I was a student I had a friend who lived in Chster so I used to visit her at w/ends and loved it.
