Re: Which English city should I live in?

Ok, I'm biased, I live about10 miles west in the beautiful Tyne Valley and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I am totally in awe of Northumberland every time I step out the front...

Re: Newcastle upon tyne Outer areas

We moved to Prudhoe which is located on the south bank of the Tyne Valley three years ago and we love it. Newcastle city centre is a 20-minute train journey away, a bus ride will take you 40 minutes....

Re: Those intangibles, the things you miss

Is it just me or are the blackberries early this year? I noticed them starting to ripen nicely in some of the hedgerows around here just the other day. There's a public footpath up the side of the...

Re: Current temp where you are in the uk

After the grass was cut, we settled for getting tipsy in the back garden with some wine I'd forgotten about. Nothing like the smell of freshly cut grass and a fabulous view :starsmile:

Re: Finally going home

We lived in Folkestone when I first returned, I was there for about 18 months but moved for work. Those benches were made for a good book or a knitting project. Enjoy the cafe :)
