Re: Going Back Next Week
Hertfordshire - lot more expensive property than Up North. You do have the Chilterns to squelch through - when the chalk gets wet, your boots grow three times in volume, and ultimately you get rooted to the spot. I lived for a year in Amersham, on the Bucks side. Not a bad little town, and some nice walking up around Chesham, and to Chalfont and Latimer.

Re: Going Back Next Week
In the interests of Northern Solidarity, the only 'wrong side of the Pennines' is to the South. Lancs and Yorks are 2 faces of the same coin. I have ancestry on both sides. I like to believe we were with Richard in the Wars of the Roses and with Parliament in the Civil War.

Re: Going Back Next Week
Brits1: I recently visited some villages/small towns in North Lancashire which were also lovely and really overlooked when people think of Lancashire its usually Blackpool, Cleethorpes etc
I come from Clitheroe. We usually regard this as an extension of the Yorkshire Dales, rather than the other, "dark, satanic" bits of Victorian Lancashire. Clitheroe and the Ribble Valley are secret only because they are hard to get to if you don't have a car. Another reason to move to York .. :>.
