Its a small world, I met my friend in the city today and she comes from Uppermill and is leaving Australia to return there in August,she said that it's a beautiful village and she can't wait to get back there. Also like many posts on here, has said that Oldham is really not a nice place to live. All the very best with your job hunting. cheers I.G.

Re: First Update
 

Yes Uppermill is really lovely and I like walking around there :) That's where I'd ultimately like to live if and when I get the chance...job first, flat second LOL

Loving the vids! I love the sound of the birds in the background in the first one and I love how people politely move out of the way for each other on the roads on the second one - it looks so sunny too, so so pretty and GREEN!!!!!

Wow those roads are so narrow, I'm always very impressed with how the bus drivers manage it, mind you it helps that people give way to each other as well lol!!!

Speaking of small worlds my ex boss here is from Oldham and he has nothing good to say about the place either! He often gives me a hard time about moving back to the UK but I just laugh and tell him he wouldn't understand because he's from Oldham and who would want to go back there??!!! Ha ha!!

Great videos, thanks for posting :)

Great videos! Thanks for posting. Crikey, I'd forgotten about riding on the bus along narrow country lanes. :eek:

Re: First Update
 

Thanks for the videos - they are great - keep them coming :)

:rofl: on the first one I thought for a moment arrrg that car is on the wrong side of the road!

LOVED the videos. I know why you like that wee town so much. I noticed when I was back last year in Elgin Scotland, the streets were so clean and peoples gardens were well kept with lots of lovely plants and flowers in them. Of course it all depends on where you live. If I get to go back I would choose a town like the one you chose. Thanks again, the videos were a breath of fresh air.

Fantastic videos! My stomach lurched a bit over those steep and narrow roads but what a gorgeous place you've picked...

Lots of us are living vicariously through you Who fan...please keep posting and sharing videos, thanks!

Re: First Update
 

Just what I noticed too! Can't say as that happens too often on Florida roads! I got a little misty when you turned the camera to the side view of the hills. Keep 'em coming love :thumbsup: And Miss Betty, let's see some of you frolicking on the beach when you get back :rofl:

LOVED the videos, thank you so much for posting. Keep 'em coming! :)

Re: First Update
 

Great videos and beautiful landscape too :) I'm quite surprised at how bare the trees still appear to be though, I thought there'd at least be a few little leaves starting to come out on the branches by now !

Re: First Update
 

GREAT videos!!!! Thank you so much for recording these. I followed you on every one :D

Re: First Update
 

Gorgeous scenery especially on the last video. Wow....drivers are so considerate. Need a skinny car ;-) Really enjoyed......thanks.

Re: First Update
 

Thanks to everyone who commented on my videos :) I must admit I had as much fun taking them as you did watching them, because I knew that once I posted them, there would be some more homesick people.:rofl:

Yes the streets are definitely narrow, and it seemed worse from the top deck of the bus. :rofl: It's so refreshing to see drivers courteously giving way to people and then acknowledging the other driver with a wave of their hand. I was trying to get the vid of the road as well as some of the best scenery at the same time. :rofl:

I think the reason why the trees are so bare at the moment, is because of the dreadful snow they had last month. It's delayed everything! It's gorgeous when the sun does come out because you can almost hear the plants and the trees give a sigh of relief and hear the little buds bursting through.:rofl:

As I'm typing this the sun is actually out..:) I went to the shops to grab the paper and it poured it down...but now - well the sun manages to peek around the clouds from time to time. :thumbsup:

Re: First Update
 

Your videos are great. Love all the stone walls, they add such character. After being delayed, the trees are just beginning to leaf out up here and I am really enjoying seeing all the different birds that are arriving and visiting my wee garden. I think spring has sprung.:)
