So it looks like DH is going to accept a new job in Swindon and we will need to relocate. From uni days I remember Swindon not being that great but that there are some lovely villages around there. I would prefer to be to the South or East of Swindon rather than the west to be nearer family.Is Lambourn nice ( did a search on here and someone said it was awful), what about Marlborough or Pewsey ? I'd like to be in a village preferably but access to a largish town with supermarkets and restaurants. I'd love to hear all your words of wisdom. I told a friend we would be relocating down there ( who lives in Bath) and she said to be aware of some very parochial villages with drug problems ??!!
